1. I am struck today by the wildly schizophrenic nature of the Biden Administrations energy policies. Consider what has gone down just with the RFS in recent months. First, they re-opened a previously finalized compliance year, 2020. That had never been done before.

2. Next, they wrote down RVOs for 2020 and 2021 to actual domestic consumption. Finally, yesterday they disallow 1.4 billion gallons worth of 2018 RVOs but then say never mind, no need to actually comply.
3. The picture that emerges is one, at least on the RFS, of an administration that is owned lock, stock and barrel by the crude oil refining industry. Yes, I said that about the Biden Admin EPA. Tell me how this is any different than the Trump Admin?
4. After considering the Biden Administration decisions on the RFS in recent months I am officially interring the #Grassleyrule on the RFS. Sorry @ChuckGrassley but you have been rickrolled too many times now for the rule to be predictive any longer.
@ChuckGrassley 5. Now back to the wildly schizophrenic nature of the Biden Administrations energy policies. On one hand, the Biden EPA is all on with refiners on implementation of the RFS. On the other hand, this is supposed to be the most climate change friendly administration in history.
@ChuckGrassley 6. Another example. We lobby Canada for more crude oil supplies but refuse to restart the Keystone XL pipeline. We have a massive release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve but refuse to give domestic crude producers a full green light. The list goes on and on.
@ChuckGrassley 7. I just need somebody to explain to me what the heck is going on :)
