**The ethanol industry can overcome two recent adverse court decisions, but it will take legislative and regulatory actions to do so.
www.agriculture.com reports, the rulings, one from the Supreme Court and one from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, deal with extending small refinery exemptions of ethanol blending requirements and the summertime sale of gas with a 15% blend of ethanol.
Renewable Fuels Association President Geoff Cooper says our outlook remains bright, despite what the headlines and our opponents would like us to believe.
