When Will the Special Favors End?

WASHINGTON – Today, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Trump administration proposed regulatory changes to reform aspects of RIN markets and to allow gasoline blended with up to 15 percent ethanol to be sold during the summer months. AEA president Thomas Pyle made the following statement:

“We are deeply disappointed that the ethanol barons have convinced the Trump administration to waive seasonal restrictions for E15 fuel even though the EPA has historically admitted they lack congressional authority to do so. This poorly constructed rule will only further manipulate fuel markets to the detriment of consumers. The EPA’s reversal is further proof that the ethanol barons are too powerful even for President Trump take on. The renewable fuel mandate needs to be repealed, not enhanced.”
