Look what I found today Washington HB 2091.......Kind of like how the white House congress and their staffers are exempt from obummercare...... They know better than us, but aren't held to the same rules   

HOUSE BILL 2091
_____________________________________________
State of Washington 63rd Legislature 2014 Regular Session
By Representatives Overstreet, Shea, Taylor, Scott, and Condotta
Prefiled 12/02/13.
1 AN ACT Relating to granting exemptions from state biofuel and
2 biodiesel requirements; and amending RCW 43.19.642 and 43.19.648.



12 (5) ((During the 2011-2013 and 2013-2015 fiscal biennia, the
13 Washington state ferries is required to use a minimum of five percent
14 biodiesel as compared to total volume of all diesel purchases made by
15 the Washington state ferries for the operation of the Washington state
16 ferries diesel-powered vessels, as long as the price of a B5 biodiesel
17 blend does not exceed the price of conventional diesel fuel by five
18 percent or more.)) Beginning July 1, 2014, the department of
19 transportation and the Washington state patrol are exempt from the
20 biodiesel requirements under this section.

So you're against saving  us money?

  Not at all, just answer THIS

Does every one else have the option to run a different fuel when the price differential meets a certain threshold?

I think We All know that answer

I know biodesiel does not work on ferries very well because the tank's outer wall is the vessels hull. As you increase the ammount of bio and reduce the temp it begins to cloud up and plug filters and such. The origianl mandate did NOT listen to basic reason or sound judgement.

 While there I saw.......

Are possible restrictions on federal public lands coming soon?


While touring federal public lands in California, Interior Department Secretary Sally Jewell once again called on Congress to quickly set aside more land for conservation. If Congress won’t act, Sec. Jewell said, she will recommend to U.S. President Barack Obama that he designate new public lands for conservation, potentially limiting access for motorized recreationists.

Producers Panic as Ethanol Mandate Loses Support

Ethanol producers are panicking amid speculation that the ethanol mandate could be drastically reduced or scrapped entirely this year as the biofuel loses its allure and bipartisan allies and former friends team up against it.

December saw California Democrat Dianne Feinstein—a renewable fuel champion--coordinate efforts with Oklahoma Republican Tom Coburn to come up with a Senate bill to get rid of ethanol from the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), citing fears that corn-based fuel production mandates will harm livestock producers

No Answers From Inslee on Low Carbon Fuel Standards – Could Derail Transportation Package, Lawmakers Say

Governor Says Executive Order is an Option – Impact Could be Dollar a Gallon


 Partial story...

By Erik Smith
Washington State Wire




OLYMPIA, Jan. 10.—Gov. Jay Inslee refuses to rule out an executive order imposing low-carbon fuel standards on the state of Washington, and lawmakers say the possibility could well derail this year’s effort to pass a gas-tax increase.

At the annual pre-session Associated Press legislative forum Thursday, the governor was asked the question directly – will he promise he won’t do it? And Inslee wouldn’t say.

“It is something we are not taking off the table, and it is something that really bears looking into, like many things in the climate-change world,” the governor said. “But we have not made a decision on it.”

The chance that Washington’s green-minded governor might order the Department of Ecology to begin drafting regulations to change the composition of gasoline and diesel fuel has thrown the Legislature into doubt in recent weeks. At a time when lawmakers are contemplating a proposal to raise the state fuel tax by 11.5 cents a gallon – a hard sell for many members, knowing it will stir anger among voters – Inslee has raised the possibility that he might seek a policy that could raise the price of gasoline by a dollar or more. It isn’t just that Inslee has made environmental legislation a central push of his administration, or that low-carbon fuel standards are among the raft of policies considered by his climate-change task force last year. It also is that he signed a pact with California, Oregon and British Columbia in which he promised that the state would impose the rule.
