On the recordFebruary 8, 2007
I thank everyone for their interest in this particular matter regarding the subject of alternative fuels generally, but I have to support the Eshoo amendment in the nature of a substitute. The problem of increased nitrogen oxide emissions with biofuels, and biodiesel in particular, relates to the combustion of the fuel in an engine and not to challenges retailers and distributors are encountering in transporting such fuels, and that needs to be the clear focus point here. For this reason, we actually removed reference to the NO emissions in the manager's amendment in the committee markup. So Ms. Eshoo's amendment restricts research and development to evaporative emissions from infrastructure. Therefore, I would support and ask for support for Ms. Eshoo's amendment to that amendment.
