Senate approves tougher pipeline safety and ethanol push
The Senate backed stricter pipeline safety rules 94 to 0 and forged agreement to triple ethanol use to 5 billion gallons by 2012 while phasing out MTBE. The deal, negotiated among farm interests, oil, environmentalists, and MTBE makers, would also end the oxygenate mandate in some areas and shield the energy bill from later changes. Concerns about California shortages and a 9/11 security context frame the measure.
