The House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce is issuing a series of white papers as the first step in reviewing the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). Each white paper poses a series of questions on the pitfalls of the RFS to stakeholders in affected sectors.
From skyrocketing RIN prices to engine damage, land-use competition to higher animal feed costs and feeding the world’s hungry, organizations are dealing with the effects of this government boondoggle every day.
