Growth Energy has filed a petition asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear their case regarding year round use of E-15 that was disallowed by a D.C. Circuit Court. Growth Energy General Counsel Joe Kakesh says if the case is taken up by the high court they’ll argue the lower court misinterpreted that law that will lead to results against the intent of Congress.
He says they’ll have to prove the importance of their case in order for the U.S. Supreme Court to agree to listen to their arguments.
Kakesh says the consequences will be severe nationally should the U.S. Supreme Court make a wrong decision on this issue.
Kakesh says they have some other options outside the courts should the High Court turn down their request.
Kakesh says when they made their decision the D.C. Circuit Court vacated a 2019 EPA rule allowing the year round use of E-15., and that was against Congressional intent.
