Big Win For Biofuel and Ag: Challenges to refinery exemptions must be heard in DC

In a win for the biofuel industry, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that legal challenges to the decision on small refinery exemptions must be heard in the DC Circuit Court of Appeals.

A move that ag groups call a victory for both farmers and clean energy.

Roger McEowen, with the Washburn School of Law, spoke with RFD-TV’s Jennifer Vickery Smith about the case’s background, the SCOTUS ruling, and next steps moving forward.
