Ban E-15?
It may be possible to ban E-15 in NH, but it is a lengthy process. In 2006, the legislature banned the sale of Methyl tri-Butyl Etheline (sp?). MtBE could not be sold after January 1, 2007. Recall this is the stuff the EPA forced into gasoline to make It burn cleaner and enhance air quality. The catch was, when you spill it or it leaks into the ground, it contaminates ground water. Dozens of contaminated wells around the state.
I certainly support clean air and water. We build our tourist based economy on them* as well as our own quality of life, but I think the EPA needs to slow down a bit sometimes.
*Oh yeah. And cheap booze.
