What to do with the cellulose left over from EPA-mandated ethanol that uses so much natural gas...

The market responds: Turn it into soil!

Oh, but we EE-PEE-ACES can't let that happen. Fine that refiner who didn't make such a process that uses more natural gas so that the farmer has to add more fertilizer made from natural gas to make up for his depleted soil.

Yeah, that'll work.

There is only one solution to the EPA. Shut it down.

Clearly, the EPA considers itself above the law - which puts it right in harmony with the entire Obama administration.

“Laws? We don’t need no steeenking laws - we’re the government!”

Last month, a federal court dealt a serious blow to the Environmental Protection Agency's renewable fuels push by ruling that the agency exceeded its authority by mandating refiners use cellulosic biofuels, which aren't commercially available. The EPA's lawless response in a lawless administration was to raise its requirements.

In 2005 and 2007, Congress twice amended the Clean Air Act to establish a renewable fuel standard (RFS) that included a mandate to use cellulosic biofuels.

That second paragraph contradicts the first. Obviously, the EPA is required by law enacted by Congress to mandate the use of these fuels.

The actions may very well be wrong and heavy-handed, but the blame goes straight to Congress, not the EPA, on this one.
