Subject: DEMOCRATIC Govenor Tom Woolf asks for Illegal RFS Exemptions.


Okay.. so it's not just the Republicans.. but now a Democratic Governor Tom Woolf is asking for Illegal Small Refinery Waivers from the EPA.

( https://www.dtnpf.com/agriculture/web/ag/news/business-inputs/article/2018/11/15/monroe-energy-pennsylvania-gov-wolf-2 )

OMAHA (DTN) -- Pennsylvania's governor and state refining interests are putting pressure on EPA to grant waivers to the Renewable Fuel Standard program, just ahead of the agency's Nov. 30 deadline to finalize new biofuels volumes for the upcoming year.

Monroe Energy, LLC, requested a waiver on Tuesday, claiming the RFS program is causing "severe economic harm" to refiners in the state and on the East Coast.

On Nov. 2, 2018, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf filed a broad petition for a waiver for refiners in the state. Wolf also filed the same petition last year on Nov. 2, 2017, and said in a letter to EPA Acting Administrator Andrew Wheeler this month that the agency had not responded to the first request.

 

According to EPA's own data, the agency granted RFS waivers in 2016 and 2017, totaling 2.25 billion gallons of biofuels. That includes about 300 million gallons of biodiesel.
