It’s not just the CCX that has gone belly up. It seems Ma Nature has got a beef with biofuels and has tossed a wrench into the biofuel industry in the form a virus that impacts the feedstocks – switchgrass in particular. It ain’t nice to fool Mother Nature.

Once the new HR comes into being, we should see even more hope as any federal level (EPA) misuse of power regarding emission standards. The congress can defund the EPA if it pushes to hard.
