Ed Whitfield: “I think just about everyone agrees that America's air quality is among the best in the world.”

The third goal of the RFS is to boost rural economies, and here we can say that the program has delivered on its promise.

In my view, an appliance that saves a few dollars per year on energy but doesn't work as well is being penny wise and pound foolish.

Congress did not write the Clean Air Act to provide EPA with the ability to create new regulatory powers and authorities so it can transform the Nation's energy system.

As I see it, the RFS was enacted largely for three reasons--to reduce America's dependence on foreign oil, to lower greenhouse gas emissions, and to strengthen rural economies.
