Ethanol groups form coalition to save federal support for biofuels - The Hill's E2-Wire

Eight biofuels groups are forming a coalition to coordinate messaging to combat calls to limit a federal mandate for renewable fuels because of the drought. 

The groups said the drought has raised the profile of the renewable fuel standard, which requires 36 billion gallons of renewable fuels to be blended into traditional transportation fuel by 2022. 

Various lobbying groups argue this requirement should be waived because of the drought, which they say has caused the price of corn used for food and animal feed to skyrocket.
