AG Miller comments on Supreme Court arguments in biofuels case
DES MOINES Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller released the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court arguments in
HollyFrontier Cheyenne Refining, LLC v. Renewable Fuels Association. Miller filed an amicus brief March 31 supporting several renewable fuels and agricultural associations in their challenge to the EPA’s award of small-refinery exemptions to the Renewable Fuel Standard. Today’s U.S. Supreme Court arguments were critical to Iowa’s renewable fuel industry and the future of the Renewable Fuel Standard. The arguments were very interesting, and the justices came prepared on a highly complex topic. We think we have the stronger argument: that Congress intended to advance renewable fuels, and not freely grant exemptions to small refineries. The plain, common sense meaning of the statute language prevails, in our opinion.
