Grassley Waiting On EPA’s Next Move On Ethanol Targets

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, again met with President Donald Trump on the issue of biofuel policy, but said he wants to see EPA’s final plan before he is willing to say that the agency will live up the pledge on making sure that 15 billion gallons of conventional ethanol get used.

“I left the meeting satisfied that the president was saying the same thing — and [EPA Administrator Andrew] Wheeler heard him say it — said we got to produce 15 billion gallons,” Grassley said.

Grassley said he told Trump that EPA’s actions since a September meeting on the topic “leaves a lot of questions whether or not we are going to get the 15 billion gallons that we said we were going to get.”
