Tell Congress: Stop the Renewable Fuel Standard "train wreck"

Below please find a message from one of our advertisers, Energy Citizens. Please note that the following message reflects the opinions and representations of our advertiser alone, and not necessarily the opinion or editorial positions of The Daily Caller.


Dear Concerned American:
 
The EPA needs to listen to more Johnny Cash. Especially The Wreck of the Old 97.
 
If they did they might understand the meaning of the phrase “train wreck” and exactly why people are using it to describe the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS).

Join Energy Citizens today and help us repeal the RFS.

 
When Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar, vice chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Energy Policy, Healthcare, and Entitlements, recently compared the impending economic damage the RFS would cause to a train wreck, the director of the EPA’s Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Christopher Grundler, said he wasn’t “aware of the definition of train wreck by Congress.”
 
Maybe Mr. Grundler is unclear on this point, but most Americans know what Rep. Gosar is talking about.  Here are some of the effects of the RFS we could see as soon as 2015, according to a study by NERA Economic Consulting:

  • 300% increase in diesel costs
  • 30% increase in gasoline costs
  • $580 billion decrease in American workers’ take-home pay
  • $770 decrease in GDP 

That’s a train wreck, and not a small one.
 
Join us in telling Congress that we know what a train wreck is – and we do not want them to turn our economy into one by refusing to fix the RFS.
 
Best wishes,

The Energy Citizens Team
 
 
P.S. Listen to The Wreck of Old 97 here.
