Democrat senators are urging the EPA to
stop awarding small refinery waivers to big oil companies.
Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown joined
Illinois Senator Dick Durbin, Minnesota Senator Tina Smith, and Senate
colleagues to send a letter to EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler this week.
“We’re calling on the EPA to stop the abuse of these waivers,” Brown says. “The waivers that the president gave to the oil refineries directly harm rural economies and farmers.”
Brown says the waivers are negatively
impacting communities across the Midwest with 13 ethanol and eight biodiesel
plants idling or shutting down.
