Subject: No Doubt that the ethanol waivers have HURT US PRODUCERS!!


There is ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT that the the Illegal Ethanol waivers from Pruitt's EPA have Harmed US Farmers.. and ethanol producers.


The ethanol industry’s view of Trump’s biofuels policy is a mixed bag. It has generally praised his recent decision to lift a summer ban of gasoline blended with 15 percent ethanol, or E15. That move could expand the domestic market for the corn-based fuel.

Still, ethanol producers have blasted the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under Trump for granting waivers exempting a record number of refineries from federal ethanol blending requirements. Biofuel companies have complained that the move is an expensive political gift to the oil industry. “The truth is that the waivers capped domestic demand growth for ethanol and really hurt the industry,” said Geoff Cooper, head of the Renewable Fuels Associations.

The Waivers have MORE than offset the good from e-15.. which still will require a lot of work to do in the marketplace.

The IRONY is that TRUMP is tweeting about wanting Lower Crude Oil Prices.. Well if he would STOP the ILLEGAL WAIVERS!!  He would HAVE:

a) Lower Energy prices
b) Lower Gasoline prices for voters
c) MORE SUPPORT from Farm state Lawmakers.

duh.. why doesn't he get more on board?
