Speaking of: Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley responded to a Reuters report Tuesday night that EPA is expected to propose new targets for the final three years of the RFS in January with volumes closer to the industry’s output. If the reports are accurate, Grassley said in a statement, EPA may now use the “weakened state” of the program after issuing hardship waivers to “justify gutting” it further. Acting Administrator Andrew Wheeler is now “in a position to avoid the missteps and abuses of power of his predecessor at the agency,” he said.
