Trump's EPA Reject's Moving Point of Obligation!$!$!$

The Environmental Protection Agency plans to formally announce the decision within the next two weeks, the official said.

The Trump administration plans to reject a proposal that would let oil refiners off the hook for complying with the federal ethanol mandate, a senior administration official told POLITICO, dashing the hopes of billionaire Carl Icahn and a slew of independent companies.

"President Trump supports the EPA's decision," the official said.

The decision follows through on Trump's campaign promise to support ethanol and leave the mandate intact. Corn staters and ethanol interests have been lobbying hard, arguing that the change would set back an ethanol industry that is vital to some of the states where voters strongly backed Trump.

"Mr. Trump won that election because voters in Iowa and across the heartland, we rose up in support of him," Annette Sweeney, a member of Trump's Agriculture Advisory Council, said in an interview after the election. "Mr. Trump, the time I visited with him, he understood the need for home-grown fuel, the need for cleaner fuel. Here in Iowa, we were some of Mr. Trump’s strongest supporters. And I really think shifting the point of obligation would interrupt America’s progress toward making clean renewable biofuels."
