Anytime we see an increase in biofuel it’s good news for consumers & the environment. @EPA must stand by this rule and not attempt to undermine the #RFS any further by changing the rule in the future. We have to ensure certainty for #Iowa’s biofuel producers.

As much as the Biden administration dreams of an all-electric world, the reality is liquid fuels are here to stay.
