Michael Burgess: “I have redrafted the amendment to more comprehensively addressed emissions from the increased use of biofuels or…”

On the recordFebruary 8, 2007
I have redrafted the amendment to more comprehensively addressed emissions from the increased use of biofuels or additives covered in the research and development program in this bill. Republicans and Democrats should be thought of as being environmentally friendly, and I found myself in the position of arguing for a more stringent standard than some of my Democratic colleagues. Mr. Chairman, MTBE was an additive. Additives can cause environmental harm. We need to look at this all the way through the fuel cycle, beginning at the R&D phase, through combustion, through emission.
