WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, Growth Energy, the nation’s largest biofuel trade association, welcomed a new letter from 16 state attorneys general calling on Congress to pass legislation allowing the year-round sale of E15, a higher ethanol-blended fuel that costs less than ordinary fuel and supports economic growth in rural America.
“We’re grateful to Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird and her colleagues for leading the charge to finally make year-round E15 the law of the land,” said Emily Skor, CEO of Growth Energy. “There’s no reason for delay. President Trump wants E15, and we have bipartisan, bicameral support in Congress to get this over the finish line before the summer driving season. This long-overdue fix will bring certainty to the marketplace, save consumers money, drive rural growth, and reinforce American energy dominance.”
