With Congress back in session after a two-week recess and year-round E15 remaining a top priority to help American families cope with soaring fuel prices, the Renewable Fuels Association offers a slate of information to remind lawmakers, ethanol advocates, media, and others about the importance of the 15 percent ethanol blend.
“Nearly two months have passed since the House E15 Rural Domestic Energy Council’s deadline for introducing legislation that would permanently allow nationwide, year-round sale of E15,” said RFA President and CEO Geoff Cooper. “With the House and Senate now back in session, and with gasoline prices hovering near record highs, we are again calling on Congress to honor its commitments and quickly adopt legislation providing year-round access to lower-cost E15. The stakes have never been higher for America’s farmers, who are facing the worst economic conditions in nearly 50 years, and for America’s working families, who have seen prices at the pump surge by over $1 per gallon in the last month.”
RFA offers a number of recently updated resources to help E15 advocates make the case for passage of the legislation, including:
