The Environmental Protection Agency issued a draft rule this week for calculating greenhouse gas emissions from biofuels. The situation puts the Obama administration in a tight spot between wanting to help the ethanol industry and wanting to live up to its promise to base policy on good science.

DOE announces nearly $800 million for biofuels.

Administration establishes interagency biofuels working group.

Bart interview Tony McGettigan, CEO of Luxim Corp., a company that last week raised additional funding for its solid state plasma lighting technology.
