'I will continue to fight for a strong Renewable Fuel Standard'

U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack (D-Iowa City) released the following statement July 5th after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced its intention to cut the amount of advanced biofuels required to be used next year in the U.S. At the same time, the EPA announced it will keep stagnant the amount of conventional biofuels, like ethanol, used in the U.S. If these actions are finalized, it would result in the first cut ever to the use of advanced biofuels in our nation. Loebsack serves as the co-chair of the House Biofuels Caucus and has fought to ensure that the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) remains strong.
