Pfluger, Arrington seek to lower fuel costs, boost American energy

SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage) — Congressmen August Pfluger and Jodey Arrington are teaming up in an effort to lower overall energy costs and expand American energy output.

The duo, along with other congressmen and congresswomen, all wrote a letter advocating for three specific initiatives to change in the 2026-2027 Renewable Volume Obligations proposed rule, according to the press release:

  • Align RVO volumes with market realities and ensure standards can be met with available domestic feedstocks;
  • Prevent the reallocation of regulatory compliance burdens to larger refiners when Small Refinery Exemptions (SREs) are granted; and
  • Maintain a 100% Renewable Identification Number (RIN) value for imported renewable fuels and feedstocks to preserve the competitiveness of American manufacturers

The ramp-up in the production of American energy comes in response to President Donald Trump’s mission to increase domestic energy and less dependence on importing foreign energy, which the letter addressed:

“[We] commend your effective leadership in implementing President Trump’s mission to ‘Unleash American Energy’ by swiftly reversing the Biden administration’s all-out assault on domestic energy production…To maintain the viability of the liquid fuel manufacturing industry and keep energy costs low for American consumers and businesses, it is critical the EPA modifies its June 2025 proposed rule on Renewable Volume Obligations (RVOs) established under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) for 2026 and 2027.”
