Trump Halts Oil Refinery "Hardship" Waivers...

“This is a promising and a long overdue development that shows Acting Administrator (Andrew) Wheeler cares about righting the ship at EPA after the prior administrator’s mismanagement and poor leadership. There’s no good reason multibillion-dollar oil refineries making record profits should receive so-called ‘hardship’ waivers exempting them from following the law,” U.S. Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, of Iowa, said in a statement on Wednesday.

The review means changes are likely to the program, which has become a lightning rod of controversy between the rival oil and corn industries since the Environmental Protection Agency vastly increased the number of waivers for last year.

Biofuel supporters contended the expansion of the waiver program was politically driven by former EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, an Oklahoman considered an oil industry ally.

“Under the last EPA chief, the waiver program became a cookie jar open to every well-connected refinery owner, and we’re seeing the results across rural America with biofuel plants closing their doors or idling production,”
