Baard pulls out of DOE loan guarantee program for Ohio River Clean Fuels
On March 26, 2009, Baard announced that the company is no longer pursuing its application with the Department of Energy's Loan Guarantee Program for the Ohio River Clean Fuels project. CEO John Baardson stated that the Sierra Club and NRDC legal challenges would likely delay any DOE funding for years. Baardson said the company "did not think it was worthwhile to put at risk over a million dollars of non-refundable submission fees and associated costs to participate in any federal program that has this much uncertainty."
