3 Iowa men hurt, 1 loses hand in fireworks mishap

News

July 5th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

MUSCATINE, Iowa (AP) — Officials in eastern Iowa say a man has lost his hand in a fireworks mishap that also seriously injured two others. The city of Muscatine says in a news release that one of the three men lit a mortar while holding it in his hand and attempted to throw it, but it exploded before he could. Firefighters say the man lost his hand in the explosion, while a second man suffered injuries to his face, eyes and ears. The third man lost several fingers.

Two of the men were taken by ambulance to a hospital. The other drove himself to the hospital. All three were later taken to an Iowa City hospital and are expected to survive their injuries. Assistant Fire Chief Michael Hartman says it’s the city’s most serious fireworks incident since the state legalized fireworks two years ago.

Iowa biofuel advocates steamed about EPA’s ethanol, biodiesel production numbers

Ag/Outdoor

July 5th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) — Iowa advocates for renewable fuels are criticizing the Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed rules for refiners. The E-P-A has released its recommendations for the Renewable Fuels Standard in 2020. The amount of conventional ethanol that must be produced and blended into gasoline next year would not change. The biodiesel mandate for 2020 would remain the same as well, but there would be a small increase in the amount of advanced biofuels that are made from plant materials.

Monte Shaw of the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association says the E-P-A has done nothing to address the waivers large refineries are being granted to avoid blending ethanol into gasoline. The president of the Iowa Corn Growers Association says those waivers are destroying demand for ethanol and farmers need President Trump to force the EPA to keep his promises on ethanol.

One industry executive said the E-P-A is making the Renewable Fuels Standard into a mere suggestion. The C-E-O of Growth Energy said the E-P-A’s proposal “is a slap in the face to the farmers dealing with one of the toughest years on record.” A statement from E-P-A’s administrator emphasized that the agency is releasing its ethanol and biodiesel production mandates for 2020 in a timely manner “to provide greater regulatory certainty to farmers and refiners across the country.”
