An Iowa farmer says he’s
disappointed that President Trump broke his promise to uphold the Renewable
Fuel Standard.
“Yes, absolutely,” says Kelly
Nieuwenhuis of Primghar.
Nieuwenhuis says the final RFS
rule, released yesterday by the EPA, is not what the president agreed to in
meetings with Midwestern senators and the biofuels industry.
“It’s just the idea that there’s
really no certainty there. We’re going to have to just constantly be after them
to make sure they get to 15 billion gallons.”
Nieuwenhuis was among a group
of Iowans who met earlier this week with Trump’s top economic adviser Larry
Kudlow, in a last-ditch effort to influence the final rule.
