RFS NEWS: BIPARTISAN EFFORT TO DRAFT REFORM BILL: A bipartisan group of lawmakers has begun discussing how to craft a compromise to update the decade-old rules governing the nation’s biofuel market and hope to draft a bill this summer, Pro Energy’s Eric Wolff reports. Ethanol and oil industry sources say they’ve met with Reps.
