Quote:

An extension of the ethanol credit of some sort is currently expected to be part of a final deal.
Lobbyists at the Renewable Fuels Association – a pro-ethanol group – Wednesday said
Obama administration and congressional sources have indicated an extension is part
of the deal at the moment but that the final details – including the length of the extension
and value of the tax credit – are still being discussed.

Along with the possible decrease in the ethanol credit, the White House also specifically cut out
of their deal with Republicans $1.4 billion in federal grants that would go to boost wind,
solar, geothermal and biomass projects.
