Shining Light on Farm & Food Policy for 20 Years.

Agriculture and renewable energy groups have told EPA the agency is pursuing an impractical, single technology solution for auto emissions that fails to account for the benefits of biofuels.
NeEPA on Wednesday announced Renewable Volume Obligations under the Renewable Fuel Standard for 2023-2025, bumping the overall blending in 2023 but trimming the mandates for 2024 and 2025 from what the agency proposed in December.
The Environmental Protection Agency will not publish a multiyear package of biofuel blending targets this week after being granted an extended timeline announced Tuesday.
House Republican leaders are looking to get their agenda back on track after a group of hard-line conservatives angry over the debt ceiling agreement effectively brought action in the chamber to a halt last week.
House Republicans proposed a tax package Friday that would impose a new excise tax of up to 60% on purchases of U.S. farmland by China and other “countries of concern."
The Biden administration is duplicating last year’s effort to use Clean Air Act emergency waiver authority that will allow consumers to purchase E15 throughout the upcoming summer driving season.
House GOP leaders, struggling to shore up Republican support for their debt-ceiling bill, gave in and moved to preserve some, but not all, of the biofuel provisions that would be repealed or scaled back by the legislation.
The Biden administration’s proposal to drastically reduce tailpipe emissions earned a healthy response Wednesday, with many skeptics bashing the plan for its push toward electrification of the nation’s vehicle fleet. But supporters of the effort said the move is necessary to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
The Biden administration is proposing new tailpipe emission standards that likely can't be met unless auto manufacturers shift still more of their sales toward electric vehicles, a move that could reduce the market for biofuels.
