2. Assuming the leaked numbers were right (at least at the time), I am still trying to figure out the political calculus of Biden Admin in going so anti-ag on the RVOs. Whatever your personal views on the RFS, the leaked proposal is indeed the worst ever from perspective of ag
3. Think about that. By all appearances, the Biden Admin is attacking the RFS more aggressively than even the Trump Admin. Who had that on their bingo card? I certainly did not.
