In Washington, a study from the Center for Agricultural and Rural Development (CARD) at Iowa State University found that action to cap Renewable Identification Number (RIN) prices in exchange for an RVP waiver allowing year-round sale of E15 would result in reduced ethanol consumption, a drop in corn prices, and an effective cut of 5% to […]
