We shouldn’t be growing food for use in cars. It’s not cost effective and it’s not necessary.

Simple. Ban worldwide use of fungicide on corn, soybeans, and wheat. See an approximate 10% drop in crop yield. Supply drop would raise prices to where ethanol would find it harder to compete with oil. Farmers would have less crop, but higher prices to offset the difference.

The health benefits to the environment would probably be a plus as well.

“Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) if they do not participate in the program.”

Would this be like a tattooed number on the arm, or just a yellow star?

This is hardly a confrontation. It is legislators meeting with the POTUS to discuss a policy

Confront?

What the Hell did Trump ever have to do with the ridiculous notion of biofuels?

And while you at it, how about getting rid of the boutique blends of fuel ( what is it 50 of 60 of them? ) and come up with one fungible grade sold nationwide...

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is among nearly a dozen Republican lawmakers prepared to confront Trump over his administration’s refusal to ratchet down the biofuel standard. They want to find a way to lessen the impact the standards have on oil refiners.

I thought, that a couple months ago, Cruz was crusading to keep the corn/ethanol train running smoothly....

How about just doing away with EPA. Where in the Constitution is it written that we must have one?

I’m always surprised they ran Nixon when he helped them create monsters like this.
