I have yet to hear any elected official familiar with the industry make the claim that such a thing is even contemplated.
Then why is anyone bothering with it? It's a net loss on energy to produce biofuels; we'd be better off without it.
I think the pols just want to look like they are 'Doing Something' even if that something doesn't really help.
