Tim Holden opposes a bill he believes harms the agricultural industry.

Our infrastructure has just been completely disinvested and we need to step up those investments.
The definition of renewable biomass contained in the renewable fuel standard of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 is problematic because it could exclude a majority of the country's biomass.
If this climate change bill becomes law, it will have a broad effect on our nation's farms, agribusinesses, and consumers.
