Grassley: EPA's RVO Plan Fails To Unleash Advanced Biofuels At The Worst Possible Time

Statement

Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Oil and Gas

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), a senior member of the Agriculture Committee, today released the following statement on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) announced biofuel volume levels:

"Month after month, Americans have seen prices rise as the cost of energy needed to move goods has soared. Diesel prices in particular -- the critical freight fuel -- have skyrocketed, pushing sticker prices up on all kinds of consumer goods. This Administration's energy policies are largely to blame.

"While the EPA announcement brings some consistency and certainty to blend levels for gasoline, it fails to take advantage of a growing supply of advanced biofuels that are used to move freight. Biofuels producers stand ready to help ease fuel costs, thereby lowering consumer prices, all while reducing emissions. This is the worst possible time to abandon advanced biofuels," Grassley said.
