CFDC Supports Challenge to SAFE Rule

CFDC joined with several other organizations to sign on to an Amicus Brief filed by the National Farmers Union challenging the rollback of fuel economy standards. The Brief argues that by failing to establish meaningful reductions the rule preserves entrenched petroleum industry interests at the expense of public health and the renewable fuel industry. The net effect of the Rule will be to increase the overall emissions from the US transportation industry and delay and disincentivize development and adoption of renewable fuels and cleaner, more efficient vehicles in exchange for claimed short-term cost savings, based on vague and dubious cost-benefit analyses and consumer preference assumptions.
