The site collects negative articles about biofuels.
The efforts come as the Senate and House prepare for a conference committee to resolve differences in the biofuel bills passed this summer. Six members will be appointed to resolve the differences and anti-biofuels lobbyists hope to be able to kill or limit ethanol subsidies if possible, saying that this will restore viable commodity prices.
