Senate strikes restrictions on military biofuel development Nov 28th 2012, 19:35 WASHINGTON | Wed Nov 28, 2012 2:35pm EST WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate voted on Wednesday to eliminate restrictions in the annual defense policy bill that would have imposed limits on the military's efforts to develop biofuels for use in its jets and warships. The Senate voted 62-37 to remove language in the National Defense Authorization Act that would have barred the military from buying biofuels that cost more than petroleum. The Senate also removed language that would have prevented spending on biofuel refineries unless specifically approved by law. Military spending on biofuels has been controversial because initial production of test batches have cost $26 per gallon or more.
