Midwest congressional leaders worry the outgoing Trump administration will sign off on oil company waivers that dampen demand for ethanol, biodiesel and other renewable fuels.
Iowa is the nation s largest ethanol and biodiesel producer, and Iowa-grown corn and soybeans are a major raw ingredient in the fuels. Iowa s U.S. Sens. Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst were among those saying in a letter Thursday to Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Andrew Wheeler that the move would be a devastating blow to biofuel producers and the farmers who sell to them.
