This bill will certainly be the beginning of the end of America as we know it. While China & India laugh at ignorance & France builds nuclear plant after plant, we plan on building wind mills. We should put one in every one of these blow hards (supporters) front yard. Maybe then we would see some real results from them.

I don't believe anyone has looked at the footprint for the 6% renewable energy. If one looks at using 50/50% of the 6% total for wind and PV, it is quite large accounting for the inefficiencies. The magnitude is bigger than just stating that 6% should be renewable.

I find the approach the politicians are using to this laughable. If we used political agendas to get to the moon we would still be trying to get there.

"The plan to calculate direct and indirect emissions from cultivation or extraction all the way through to combustion of a fuel has drawn fire from the ethanol lobby in California."
