In reading the article, I believe that TCEQ is in an uphill battle. It appears there is other testing out there that negates their finding. I would expect the BCOT's attorneys to come at the state with "both barrels":guns: , if they attempt to shut down BIO in TX without a LOT more research. :2c

Good find on that article, Kevin.:sweet

Bunch of Bull Pucky if you ask me. Texas imagine that....how much of our US supplied oil comes from the region? Correlation I think so. I know it is how our country runs but it is sad when something like this happens.

Dont sweat it. The TCEQ does not have legal authority to regulate bio. THey are just trying to do it anyway. I know two Austin lawyers who represent a couple of large companies and they are actively involved with this stuff. It will get straightened out I can asure you.

I only read this ever so briefly but I believe is the "reprieve". This is a annual "one year extension" on biodiesel. Depsite the fact, for a lot of reasons, the TCEQ does not actually have the authority to ban biodiesel, they like to throw their weight around and make these threats. The other side of their lack of authority is --> dont like my rules? sue me.
