FILE - In this Aug. 2, 2013, file photo, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy speaks to the Associated Press during an interview at her office in Washington. The EPA's inspector general is accusing a unit run by President Barack Obama's political staff inside the EPA of operating as a "rogue law enforcement agency" that is blocking independent investigations and violating federal law. Patrick Sullivan will tell a House oversight committee May 7 that the EPA's Office of Homeland Security, which is overseen by the chief of staff to McCarthy, has for years impeded inspector general investigations, citing national security interests. Sullivan's prepared testimony was obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press. (AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta, File)

Biofuels made from corn leftovers after harvest are worse than gasoline for global warming in the short term, challenging the Obama administration's conclusions that they are a cleaner oil alternative from the start and will help climate change.
