Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) releases column defending the RFS

In Minnesota, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) wrote a column defending the Renewable Fuels Standard, whose rollbacks are estimated to cost Minnesota $600 million in lost economic activity.

Klobuchar indicated that her recent bipartisan meeting hosted with 15 other senators and the EPA administrator was constructive, with Senators across the aisle and country advocating for the RFS.
