James M. Jeffords: “What we need is a future based upon the abundant supply of domestically produced clean and low-carbon fuel.”

Thank you. Mr. Wehrum, a major challenge facing EPA is securing the resources needed to successfully develop and implement the renewable fuels standard, or RFS.

What will be the effect of the RFS if EPA does not receive these funds?

Will EPA fulfill its responsibilities to protect public health and the environment by making an active an informed decision regarding the permit before September 11th?

These innovations have the potential to move us into an era when driving a car or truck will no longer mean causing dangerous, global-warming pollution or using up scarce resources.
