And after the public comment period, it's fair to assume there will be intense pressure to make the analysis even more sympathetic to farm fuels...
...starkest example of the problems with the analysis is the time horizon. When the EPA studied a reasonable 30-year time period, even with its generous assumptions, soy biodiesel and corn-ethanol plants powered by coal or natural gas actually produced more emissions than gasoline; corn ethanol only passed the stress test (and just barely) when powered by the cleanest possible power. And that analysis assumed it's a good trade-off to accept massive emissions today in exchange for reductions over 30 years, when in fact massive emissions today could help trigger devastating ice melts and other feedback loops...
Beloved Reading Period is here (FlyBy uses two benchmarks: the last of the formals, and the last day the Owl or Fly is blasting music at 5pm (crossing our fingers on the second one, we suppose)). And it's real. Yeah, those papers/projects last week were cute and all and oh did they take a lot of time, but finals are where legends are made.
