(Radio Iowa) - Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley is calling on the E-P-A and the Biden Administration to raise Renewable Fuel Standard volumes so they keep up with the amount of biofuels our factories can churn out.
Grassley says the levels far enough last year. He says it's an "insult" for those levels to be so low and the result is a stifled industry and a discouragement of outside investment, which is costing green jobs in Iowa.
His letter to the E-P-A highlights environmental benefits from an increase in biofuels production, including how biomass-based diesel can cut carbon emissions by more than 70 percent.
