The Trump administration has enacted significant changes to its energy policy, including agreeing to pay a French energy giant nearly $1 billion to stop its East Coast offshore wind farm projects. Concurrently, the administration is expanding biofuel use by waiving federal volatility requirements to permit broader sales of higher-ethanol E15 gasoline this summer, aiming to reduce gas prices and strengthen the national fuel supply.
The Trump administration has officially waived certain E15 and E10 fuel standards, intending to provide relief at the pump and bolster fuel supply. Concurrently, the administration is rapidly advancing other biofuel blending standards and plans to pay a French energy company to halt its offshore wind projects.
