Tuesday, Democratic Senators Joe Lieberman and Ken Salazar will join Republican Senators Susan Collins and Sam Brownback in introducing the "Open Fuel Standard Act of 2008." This legislation would put into law a promise made repeatedly by America's car manufacturers: to make half their new cars Flexible Fuel Vehicles (FFVs) by 2012. These are cars that can use gasoline, alcohols (ethanol or methanol from whatever source) or some combination. It would require foreign competitors to do the same, then up that percentage to 80% by 2015. Companion bipartisan legislation is expected shortly to be put in play in the House of Representatives.
