Ed Whitfield: “The gentleman's time is expired.”

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.

During the almost 6 years that I have been chairman of this subcommittee, we've had 40 hearings that have looked at various EPA rules and proposals that affect or will affect the Nation's energy and industrial sectors.

In order to reach Congress' statutory volumes there needs to be more ethanol in the system than can be absorbed just through E10.

EPA is pushing a back door cap-and-trade policy without congressional approval.
