Representative Adrian Smith (R-NE), co-chair of the Congressional Biofuels Caucus, issued a statement following the Environmental Protection Agency’s recent decision regarding Small Refinery Exemption (SRE) petitions.
"Renewable fuels provide homegrown, reliable, and affordable energy to power American energy security. As we celebrate 20 years of the RFS, small refinery exemptions should be an extraordinary exception rather than a part of the business plan. I appreciate Administrator Zeldin’s commitment to upholding the integrity of the RFS and look forward to hearing more details about how today’s announcement will be incorporated into the overall volumes for future obligation years," Smith said.
Smith has represented Nebraska’s 3rd district in Congress since 2007, succeeding Tom Osborne. He previously served in the Nebraska Legislature from 1999 to 2007. Born in Scottsbluff, Nebraska in 1970, Smith is currently 52 years old and resides in Gering. He earned his BA from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 1993.
