Ethanol Won’t Be in EPA Gasoline Formula: Despite vigorous lobbying by Midwestern corn farmers, the Clinton Administration on Thursday will reverse a Bush Administration decision to include ethanol--an alcohol made from corn--in cleaner-burning gasoline to be required in smoggy areas of the country beginning in 1995, according to the Associated Press. In 1991, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, refiners and environmentalists agreed on a formula without ethanol, which can increase summertime smog because it evaporates so quickly. During last year’s election campaign, then-President George Bush had promised the corn growers that ethanol would be included in the EPA formula.
