Abby- thanks again for meeting with us today. Was great to see you and sorry if there was a disconnect on our end about attendees from RFA. That was our fault. In the meantime, we had a chance to look at all the good stuff epa released today and wanted to share this statement for your use on the tailpipe rule:
"The Renewable Fuels Association applauds the Trump administration and EPA for taking decisive action to roll back the overreaching light-duty tailpipe emissions rule. The original regulation effectively mandated a transition to electric vehicles while ignoring the proven emissions-reducing benefits of ethanol and other renewable fuels. By reconsidering, the EPA can restore fairness to its regulatory framework and recognize that low-cost liquid fuels like ethanol must be part of securing America's energy future. We look forward to working with the administration to protect consumer choice and boost domestic energy production."
