The Renewable Fuels Standards do nothing for consumers and are a sop to the agribusiness lobby

Printus LeBlanc:
The Renewable Fuel Standard is beyond repair; it is time to repeal it.
They were meant to solve a problem that no longer exists.  At the time there was a perceived scarcity of fossil fuels.  That perception is no longer valid.  If ethanol has any value it should have to compete in the marketplace.  The current Renewable Fuel Standards are actually an impediment to US national security and energy independence because they force refiners to spend money on something that is no longer needed instead of converting their operations to refine the light crude being produced by shale wells which would virtually eliminate teh need to import oil.
