I have introduced legislation to require EPA to establish uniform standards and controls for such facilities.

As you may know, International Paper is seeking a permit to burn tires at its facility in upstate New York.

I regard the RFS as the first step and one that only produces transition fuel on our way to more a climate-friendly future.
