"Biofuels Industry, Allies Push Back Against EPA Decision"

"Biofuels producers and their political allies are ramping up public and behind-the-scenes pressure on the Environmental Protection Agency to rethink its plan to scale back the national biofuels blending mandate."

"ere’s a couple of early signs of what’s expected to be a vigorous campaign:

Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad (R), whose state is a major ethanol producer, unveiled a new website Tuesday called 'Protect The RFS,' a reference to the federal Renewable Fuels Standard that the EPA is seeking to scale-back for the first time."
