Does the Trump administration care more about playing politics with the ethanol lobby, or keeping its word about making the U.S. an “energy-dominant” nation? The American people will soon find out.

The Trump administration recently held meetings with four senators — two that support change and two that support the status quo — to discuss the possibility of fixing one of the most significant handicaps to the president’s energy policy agenda: the Renewable Identification Numbers, or RINs, mandate, found on one of the many pages within the Renewable Fuel Standard’s, or RFS, regulatory book.
