Is the State also making an investment in E-85 infrastructure?

Is it the panacea we see out there? Probably not.

If we are not going to use ethanol as E-85, then we have a serious problem.

We should revisit the tax code to try to put things on parity, so that these fuels all come out on an even playing field.

We have to be very careful on what we call a low-carbon fuel standard, what it really means, and what impact it is going to have on infrastructure and on the ability of Americans to get from point A to point B and for this economy to grow…

But I suspect that the drop in the cost of oil is a reprieve, but probably not going to be with us forever.

To address some of these concerns, we passed a bipartisan energy bill in 2007 that reduced our dependence on foreign oil and reduced harmful emissions into our air.

I believe biofuels done right, is a good thing.

I hope that we can work together on this.

Personally, I believe biofuels, if done right, are a good thing, maybe a very good thing.

In the new Renewable Fuel Standard, we provide clear directions to the EPA to make sure environmental protections are included--such as reducing our carbon footprint and moving away from biofuel made from corn.

The President came and spoke with us, by the way, at our caucus and talked about his budget.

I think, America's best idea, which I think is our Constitution, was first adopted.

Mr. Strickland, welcome. I think I have seen you before. It is nice to see you here today, especially sitting with Mark Udall.

if you think that Dirk Kempthorne was supportive of your initiative, you have not seen anything yet.

We still need to pass authorizing legislation through the Congress and my hope is we will be able to do that.

I appreciate that commitment, and we will look forward to working with you and this Administration, much as we did the last.

I suggested some ways we could save money. It is easy to come up with the ways to spend money.
