Etheridge to annouce biofuels legislation


As North Carolinians continue to struggle with skyrocketing gas prices, U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge (D-Lillington), the co-chair of the Rural Working Group, will announce comprehensive legislation to promote biofuels production in America.

The legislation will rapidly expand the production and distribution of biofuels, encourage the deployment of new engine technologies for flex-fuel, hybrid and biodiesel vehicles, and encourage cutting edge research to develop the next revolution in renewable energy.
