Ag groups sue EPA over emission vehicle standards

Several state corn and soybean groups are suing the EPA over its revised greenhouse gas emissions standards that would focus clean energy efforts on electric vehicles.

The groups’ petitions to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia argue the rule change would be detrimental to the biofuel sector by only allowing electric vehicles.

Missouri Corn Growers President Bradley Schad calls the proposed rule “an extensional threat” to biofuels.
