Engineer William Barnes reportedly “rubber-stamped” false reports sent to the EPA in order to get the owners of two biofuel companies lucrative subsidies from taxpayers, [URL='http://www.mcall.com/news/breaking/mc-biodiesel-fraud-easton-engineer-pleads-guilty-20160310-story.html']according to The Morning Call[/URL]. The owners of the two green energy companies, Dave Dunham and Ralph Tommaso, were charged in December for exaggerating the amount of biodiesel and heating oil they produced as part of a racket that extends from Pennsylvania to Washington state and even Canada. Durham and Tommaso hired Barnes to document the production capacities of their biofuels plants in order to get subsidies from the EPA’s renewable fuel credit program — a subsidy created to encourage the production of biofuels from things like cooking oil.
