Ranking Member Stabenow Says Renewable Fuel Standard Extends Uncertainity
Fri, 29 May 2015 15:55:16 CDT
U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow, Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, Friday issued the following statement regarding EPA's Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) announcement:
"Tremendous progress is being made toward commercial-scale production of advanced biofuels that are creating home-grown American energy. Unfortunately, today's announcement falls short of accomplishing the goals laid out in the Renewable Fuel Standard. These proposed figures only extend uncertainty in America's renewable fuels sector, which creates hundreds of thousands of jobs across the country. While EPA's proposal does allow for modest growth in the industry over time, these standards do nothing to stop Big Oil's unfair advantage at the gas pump. I will continue to fight against Renewable Fuel Standard targets that keep American biofuel producers from being able to fairly compete."
