Grassley's Strong Defense Of RFS Creates Doubt Over Senate Reform Bill

摘要

Sen. Charles Grassley's (R-IA) release of an analysis strongly defending EPA's renewable fuel standard (RFS) and rejecting refining sector attacks on its compliance mechanism and credit prices is creating fresh doubt over pending Senate efforts to craft legislation that would overhaul the program, including reducing credit prices. "I'm confident that the Renewable Fuel Standard isn't harming refineries, that other factors are at work, and that the RFS law is working as Congress intended. Once these facts are known, there ought to be an end to the misleading rhetoric blaming the RFS," Grassley said in a statement about the analysis released this week.
