| http://loebsack.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=394813 | Loebsack Statement on New RFS Proposal | 2015-05-29 | 2015 | 2015-05 | Democrat | House | IA | Dave Loebsack | L000565 | loebsack.house.gov | legacy | Congressman Dave Loebsack released the following statement today after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released new Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) obligations for 2014, 2015 and 2016. Loebsack has been leading the fight to highlight the importance of the RFS to Iowa.The new RFS obligations have been a long time coming. While the EPA has taken steps to improve upon its previous proposal, which would have devastated Iowas farmers and rural communities, there is room for improvement in their newest proposal. The proposal announced today is still lower than the levels mandated by Congress. It is disappointing that the EPA has sided with Big Oil at the expense of rural families across the nation. The good news is that the proposal is not final and it is time for farmers to again stand up and tell the EPA that they deserve better and need to do what Congress has mandated. The RFS has proven it works, creates jobs, supports our agricultural communities and lessens our dependence on foreign oil, which is why the EPA must make it as strong as possible. I will continue to fight to ensure that the final rule is good for Iowa. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
