Renewable Fuels Wins Again

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit Tuesday denied petitions to rehear the case against the Environmental Protection Agency for permitting the commercial use of E-15. Growth Energy CEO Tom Buis says this order leaves in place an earlier decision by the Court denying challenges to EPA’s decision to allow E-15 to enter the marketplace. Buis says it’s a major victory for the renewable fuels industry – opening the door for further investment in new fueling technology to offer E-15 to consumers. It’s a win-win for American consumers – according to Buis – providing them with both a choice and savings at the pump. He says E-15 will help reduce the nation’s dependence on foreign oil and continue to create jobs in the U.S. – while also revitalizing rural economies and improving the environment.
