    Mr.

    President, we invested BILLIONS


    in THE WORLDS CLEANEST
    motor fuels based on the RFS.
    But your proposal
    DISMANTLES the
    program.

    Mr. President, the Renewable Fuel Standard


    is the only law on the books combating climate
    change.
    Passed by Senator Reid and a bipartisan coalition 10 years ago this month, the RFS helped create
    over 850,000 jobs, reduce Americas oil imports by
    nearly two-thirds, and save consumers billions at
    the pump. All by tripling Americas production of
    clean, low carbon renewable fuel.
    The RFS was a promise to investors that America
    would break the chokehold the oil industry has on
    fuel distribution and market access to create
    American jobs and consumer choice at the pump.
    Relying on this promise, innovators in the first
    and second generation biofuel industries invested
    billions. Advanced biofuel facilities are coming
    online with fuels that cut carbon emissions by
    88-108% compared to petroleum, according to the
    Department of Energy.
    But Americas biofuel innovators have a problem.
    Under pressure from the oil industry, your Administration is proposing to change the law midstream
    to allow oil companies to avoid their obligations by
    simply refusing to distribute renewable fuel to consumers. The proposal would gut the core concept
    behind the law and break the promise of the RFS.
    Advanced biofuel innovators are not going to fail.
    But America will fail to lead if you let oil companies off the hook and investors are forced to
    look overseas to more stable biofuel policies.
    Mr. President, you campaigned on the promise of the RFS and we agree with your statement that there should be no question that the
    United States of America is stepping up to the
    plate, as we head into climate talks in Paris. We
    cant afford to dismantle a landmark Clean Air Act
    program, increase carbon emissions and send
    American innovation overseas.
