Icahn Sees Biofuels Fight Deepening as Refinery Losses Mount
- Billionaire makes first comments since letter to Trump on role
- Convenience store owner lawsuit challenges EPA on biofuels
Billionaire Carl Icahn says an oil industry push for structural changes to the U.S. biofuels mandate will persist, even if the Environmental Protection Agency rebuffs requests from refiners to relieve them of the regulatory burden.
Icahn’s remarks came as convenience store owners took the fight to federal court and mark the investor’s first public comments since an Aug. 18 open letter announcing his departure as a special regulatory adviser to President Donald Trump.
