Ethanol Battle Rages Over E15 Fuel Expansion
The debate over a 15 percent ethanol gasoline blend pits oil interests against biofuel supporters as the Supreme Court leaves intact a ruling allowing E15 sales. Officials warn older vehicles could suffer, while ethanol advocates tout lower costs and energy independence. About 20 stations in six Midwest states currently offer E15 amid regulatory jockeying and industry lobbying.

Germany probes Minnesota man once led Nazi unit
German prosecutors opened a preliminary inquiry into 94 year old Michael Karkoc, seeking evidence for possible charges and extradition. AP findings show Karkoc entered the U.S. in 1949 by concealing his SS led unit role, tied to killings in Poland, with unit links to the 1944 Warsaw Uprising and Chlaniow village massacres. The probe weighs murder or complicity to murder, while his son denies Karkoc’s Nazi ties.
