Iowa Renewable Fuels Association Says EPA’S Waiver Decision Fulfills Biden Campaign Promise

(Johnston, IA)  —  The Iowa Renewable Fuels Association is applauding the E-P-A for rescinding three waivers that had excused Sinclair Oil refineries in Wyoming from the federal requirement to blend ethanol into gasoline.  The waivers were granted on the last day of the Trump Administration.  I-R-F-A executive director Monte Shaw says the E-P-A’s decision fits with the law, but just as importantly, it matches what candidate Joe Biden said on the campaign trail.  Shaw notes that Biden said, “he wanted to reign in these refinery exemptions, that they weren’t justified, that we need to follow the law and implement it appropriately.”  Shaw says the Biden Administration’s E-P-A administrator will be in Iowa today (Tuesday) and tour an ethanol plant.
