Abstract

Late last month, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed changes to the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS2) for 2014. The proposals are illustrated in Chart 1 (on next page). The changes address two problems in achieving the targets established by Congress and the Bush Administration in the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA).
