WASHINGTON—Democratic presidential hopeful Amy Klobuchar on May 25 called for revamping Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rules that govern how refineries use ethanol in gasoline products, a proposal aimed at the politically critical state of Iowa.
Part of a series of farm policies that also addressed access to capital and bankruptcy assistance, Klobuchar, a U.S. senator, said the EPA’s waivers that allow refineries to avoid the requirements are “misguided” and said financial institutions are manipulating the biofuels credit trading market.
