WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) is launching a series of new ads across nine states urging key United States Senators and Congressional Representatives to vote to overturn the Biden administration’s newly finalized regulation that will ban most new gas cars by 2032.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) President and CEO Chet Thompson today issued the following statement on NHTSA’s newly finalized Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) launched a series of new ads, entitled Rearview, urging key United States Senators and Congressional Representatives to vote to overturn the Biden administration’s now-final EPA regulation that will ban most new gas cars by 2032.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) is launching Driver’s Seat, a new issue ad highlighting Vice President Kamala Harris’ well-documented support for a California-style 100% ban on sales of new gas cars across the United States, policy that is even more extreme than the unpopular Biden-Harris EPA regulation aimed at phasing out most new gas cars by 2032.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, a coalition of 15 energy, agriculture and biofuel groups filed a petition for a writ of certiorari (cert petition) with the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) challenging EPA’s decision to grant a waiver to the state of California for its 2021-2025 electric vehicle mandate, a policy governing the vehicle choice of nearly 40% of Americans directly and many more indirectly.
EPA has waived cellulosic biofuels in the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program (see January 2015 blog - "Cellulosic RFS Waiver History," and December 2015 blog – "Update: RFS Cellulosic Biofuel Waivers").
Although AFPM President Chet Thompson’s Congressional testimony on the flawed Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) runs to 24 pages, the message contained within is very simple: the proposed 2017 RFS rule exemplifies everything that’s wrong with the program, and it needs to be ended before 2022.
The Renewable Fuel Standard is more expensive in 2021 than at any other point in the program’s 15-year history. Soaring RFS prices signal that the RIN bank could run dry.
