Congressman Steve Scalise today issued the following statement after the EPA proposed 2014 renewable fuel volume requirements.

“The EPA's announcement is a welcome acknowledgement that the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) is fatally flawed and unworkable,” Scalise said.  “While this proposed one-year fix is a step in the right direction, short-term patches don’t provide the long-term certainty that families and businesses need to create jobs and lower energy costs. I will continue fighting for full repeal of the RFS so that we finally get the government out of the detrimental business of picking winners and losers in the energy marketplace.”
