Recap: Fuels America Responds to Toomey/Feinstein Bill
Posted 27 February 2015 in
Yesterday, members of the Fuels America coalition held a conference call to address a new bill from Senators Feinstein and Toomey that would devastate the renewable fuel industry and the rural communities that rely on it. That legislation, the Corn Ethanol Mandate Elimination Act, would change the way the EPA administers the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). The bill would also harm progress on second-generation biofuels, including cellulosic ethanol — the cleanest motor fuel in the world.
During the call, Fuels America also released a letter calling on President Obama to ensure that the EPA’s new multiyear rule for the RFS supports growth for existing and new biofuels technologies and lives up to the original intent of the bipartisan law.
Listen to the conference call.
Read the letter to President Obama.
