The Recycling Materials Attribution Act (RMAA). What is it? Why do we need it? What would it do?

AFPM’s VP of Midstream and Petrochemicals, Rob Benedict, answers these questions and more in our new Q&A about this bipartisan bill. He also explains how consumers would benefit from the RMAA, plus how it’d encourage recycling investment and innovation.

Paging Susan Collins…

A diesel export ban wouldn't just increase gas prices, tighten domestic fuel supplies or hurt energy manufacturing in the Gulf Coast. It’d also expose some of America’s most energy-dependent regions to retaliation and even greater energy supply disruptions. And the regions most vulnerable to this? The Northeast and the West Coast.

A diesel export ban may sound like a way to lower fuel costs.

It won’t. It could actually raise gasoline prices.

Part 4 of our ongoing series sharing expert perspectives on why a diesel export ban is the exact wrong move for our energy security.

(and seriously, we found so many quotes about this we created four long articles about it, so it should be clear that *any* kind of export ban would backfire spectacularly)

Out in Midland, Texas at one of the largest crude oil terminals in America, our oft-repeated line, “we make modern life possible,” rings truer than ever.

We caught up with Robert Nobles, VP of U.S. Facilities and Rail at Plains All American Pipeline, to learn more about the Midland terminal and how it helps move the crude oil used to make everyday products. Fun fact: Almost every American, at some point, has used fuel and materials that started out as oil moving through Midland.
