Oil and Corn Sectors Unite Against Biden's EV Push

Uniting Against Change: Oil and Corn Industries Challenge Biden's EV Policies

Editorial Team (ET)July 11, 2025



In a surprising turn of events, the oil and corn industries, traditionally at odds, have united to challenge the Biden administration's new pollution limits. These limits, designed to promote electric vehicles (EVs), have ignited a legal battle with significant implications for the future of transportation fuels. This article delves into the conflict, exploring the perspectives of the involved parties and the potential impacts on the auto industry and beyond.

The push for electric vehicles is not new, but recent policies have intensified the debate. Historically, the oil and corn industries have clashed over market share, particularly in the realm of biofuels like ethanol. However, the latest pollution limits set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have brought these adversaries together in opposition.

President Joe Biden's administration has introduced stringent pollution limits aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. These limits are part of a broader strategy to transition the U.S. auto industry towards electric vehicles. The policy mandates significant reductions in carbon dioxide emissions, effectively pushing automakers to increase their EV offerings.

Nearly three dozen companies and trade associations, including heavyweights like the American Petroleum Institute and the National Corn Growers Association, have filed petitions against the EPA's vehicle standards. These petitions were submitted to the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, marking the beginning of a high-stakes legal showdown. The oil industry, represented by the American Petroleum Institute, argues that the new standards are economically detrimental and overstep the EPA's authority. They contend that the stringent emissions caps are unachievable for traditional gasoline and diesel vehicles, effectively mandating a shift to EVs that threatens their market.

The National Corn Growers Association, along with other ethanol advocates, is concerned about the impact on ethanol production. They argue that the policy disregards the potential of low-carbon, high-octane renewable fuels like ethanol to achieve significant emissions reductions. The policy's focus on EVs, they claim, undermines the viability of their industry.

Auto dealers, fuel marketers, and convenience stores have also joined the legal fight. They argue that the new standards will disrupt their businesses, forcing a rapid transition that could lead to economic instability. Their concerns highlight the broader economic ramifications of the policy. Environmental advocates, on the other hand, support the new standards. They see the lawsuits as a cynical attempt to preserve the status quo, allowing continued pollution for profit. Key figures like Dan Becker from the Center for Biological Diversity argue that the policy is a necessary step towards reducing harmful emissions and combating climate change.

The shift towards electric vehicles is already reshaping the auto industry. Manufacturers have announced significant investments in EV and battery manufacturing plants, driven by both the new standards and incentives from the Inflation Reduction Act. This transformation presents both challenges and opportunities for automakers.

Biden's pro-EV policies have become a contentious issue in the political arena, particularly as the 2024 presidential election approaches. Presumed Republican nominee Donald Trump has vowed to overturn these policies if elected, framing the debate as a critical battleground in the upcoming election.

The economic impact of the new standards is multifaceted. On one hand, there is potential for job creation in the EV and battery manufacturing sectors. On the other hand, there could be job losses in traditional auto manufacturing and fuel production. The long-term economic outlook hinges on the outcome of the litigation and the industry's ability to adapt.

The anticipated reduction in pollution is a major selling point of the new standards. By promoting EVs, the policy aims to significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions. However, critics argue that the EPA has overlooked other effective pollution-cutting options, such as increasing gasoline octane levels to boost ethanol use.

The transition to electric vehicles involves significant technological advancements. While EVs have proven to be a viable solution for reducing emissions, critics argue that the EPA's approach is overly focused on tailpipe pollution and fails to consider the environmental impact of electricity generation, particularly from coal.

The future of liquid fuels, including both oil and ethanol, is uncertain in the face of growing EV adoption. Both industries must explore adaptation strategies to remain relevant in a changing market. The long-term outlook will depend on technological innovations and regulatory developments.

The legal battle over Biden's EV policy is a critical moment in the ongoing struggle between traditional and renewable energy sources. As the auto industry navigates this transition, the outcomes of these lawsuits will shape the future of transportation fuels and environmental policy in the United States. The stakes are high, and the ramifications will be felt across the economy, the environment, and the political landscape.
