“This is an Executive Order on interagency relationships. While good relations among agencies are important to the regulatory process, it’s also important to recognize that reducing gasoline consumption requires more than good interagency dynamics.
“The absence of any standards in today’s announcement is a reason why Americans will be looking to Congress for stronger leadership on energy policy. Indeed, solid bipartisan majorities in two Senate committees recently reported bills to create specific, meaningful new standards for biofuels and vehicle fuel economy. I look forward to the full Senate’s consideration of these bills.”
