Federal appeals court overrules unconstitutionality of LCFS

In California, U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals partially overturned an early ruling that said the Low Carbon Fuels Standard was anti-constitutional because it allegedly broke inter-state commerce laws. The three-judge panel sent the case back to the lower court to determine if the LCFS is discriminatory against ethanol. It did not make a judgment as to whether the RFS supersedes the LCFS.
