The U.S. Senate is expected to vote today on the Energy Bill that’s had already been approved by the U.S. House. It’s a bill that could mean big benefits to Missouri corn growers because of its requirement that 7-and-a-half-Billion gallons of renewable fuels be in use by the year 2012. Senator Talent, a prime mover of this Renewable Fuels Standard, says it will help Missouri corn growers and keep the air cleaner by keeping many of the pollutants out of the air. President Bush could sign the bill as early as this weekend.
