RFS

WASHINGTON, D.C. – A bipartisan group of governors from Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Utah, and Wyoming have petitioned EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler to exercise his agency’s general waiver authority to waive Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) compliance burdens for the year 2020 due to the experience of severe economic hardship throughout the refining industry and nationally amid COVID-19.

Years ago, Congress passed a law that mandated biofuels such as corn ethanol to be blended into our nation’s gasoline supply.

Despite the obvious advantages of gasoline, the government is intent on propping up Big Corn’s broken ethanol mandate, the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS).
