环保局允许在今年夏天在全国销售E15汽油, EPA permits nationwide sale of E15 gasoline this summer, facing environmental concerns.

美国环保局今年夏天允许全美销售E15, 一种乙醇含量更高的汽油混合物, The EPA has allowed the sale of E15, a higher-ethanol gasoline blend, across the US this summer, despite previous bans due to smog concerns. 这项决定旨在通过向消费者提供更廉价的燃料选择,使乙醇生产商和玉米种植者受益。 This decision aims to benefit ethanol producers and corn farmers by providing cheaper fuel options for consumers. 然而,环保主义者认为,增加E15的使用可能会损害空气和水质,因为较高的玉米产量会导致更多的化肥使用和潜在的水污染。 However, environmentalists argue that increased E15 use could harm air and water quality, as higher corn production leads to more fertilizer use and potential water pollution. EPA的紧急豁免将允许E15销售至少持续到5月20日,并计划延长到9月15日。 The EPA's emergency waiver will keep E15 sales allowed through at least May 20, with plans to extend it to September 15.
