Transparency is key and when it comes to the Renewable Fuel Standard. North Dakota Congressman Kevin Cramer says the hardship waivers refineries are getting aren’t transparent. “It’s easy to understand why the real small refineries can’t meet the demand with the market they’re in, but perhaps maybe the more medium sized refineries could. I think the lack of transparency causes us to question the formula in the first place and the rationale for it.” Cramer says most farmers like Pruitt for rolling back regulations. “Administrator Pruitt’s controversies come from how he conducts his own administration. By that, I mean spending, travel, security details. Whether it’s excessive or not could better be determined by more transparency.”
