Grassley wants to see Trump’s biofuels plan in writing before celebrating

President Trump is reportedly close to announcing a plan to address concerns of the biofuels industry over RFS Small Refinery Exemptions.

Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley was among a group of biofuels supporters who met with Trump last week to discuss that plan.  Grassley says their request was simple.

“We want 15 billion gallons to be 15 billion gallons,” Grassley says. “So that means basically that you can waive all you want to waive for small refineries, just make sure we get 15 billion gallons.”

Grassley says the biofuels supporters felt positive about the meeting. But Grassley says he’ll wait to celebrate until he sees it in writing.

“I’m not going to say ‘cheers’ until I see it on paper. Because EPA is putting it on paper and I know there’s a big voice for Big Oil in EPA,” Grassley says. “I’ve been hoodwinked so many times, not just by EPA on this issue but by other bureaucracies as well, so I’m going to see if what they talked about is in the end product.”

Grassley says he anticipates the plan will be announced soon.

  • Donald Trump’s problem is that he continually listens to the wrong people regarding the Renewable Fuel Standard, the Oil Lobby and the Oil Bias EPA.

    If you want clear air you need to listen people who are interested in telling the truth, you won’t find truth at the EPA or the Oil Lobby.

    President Trump unleashed the EPA to carry out their 30+ year, Oil Bias War against Biofuels and now he is reaping its reward.

    EPA broke the RFS Law and wrote Excessive Refinery Waivers to their “Favored Oil Industry,” then lied about it saying “their hands were tied.”

    Then they broke the RFS Law again by not Reallocating any of the Waivers back to the larger Billion Dollar Refining Industry, effectively stealing 4.3 Billion Gallons out of the RFS Biofuel Mandates by their actions.

    Then they Lied About it again by say their actions “have not diminished Biofuel Demand.”

    EPA’s Biofuels Testing basically concludes that if you put clean water into dirty water, the dirty water gets dirtier! (How Nice!) That’s the conclusion of the EPA / Oil Industry “Match Blending Testing” of Ethanol Blended Fuels. It is totally Inaccurate.

    Then EPA puts their Flawed “Match Blending” result into their Flawed MOVES Model, for predicting Mobile Emissions to further restrict increased Biofuel Use in the fuel supply.

    President Trump needs to Clean House at the EPA and Clear Out all the Oil Company “plants” working there, skewing the EPA’s Regulations in favor of the Oil Industry and against the welfare of every American.

    EPA’s Lies even go beyond our shores as other Countries like Mexico use the EPA Flawed MOVES Model to also consider Biofuels as “dirty,” further restricting their use.

    President Trump wonders why he has a Problem, and Big Oil Smiles all the way to the Bank.
