Competitive Enterprises Institute wants RFS frozen and sunsetted

In Washington, the Competitive Enterprises Institute has put forth proposals for the next session of Congress including freezing the Renewable Fuel Standard below the blend wall while setting a sunset period for 2022. The CEI says the RFS has not weaned the country off foreign oil as well as the “fracking revolution” has while increasing agricultural runoff, converting wildlife and conservation areas into energy crop production, increasing air pollution and potentially producing more GHG emissions than fossil fuels.
