Nikki Haley is the second Republican presidential candidate to take a positive position on all eight topics vital to the future of Iowa farmers and biofuels producers, according to Biofuels Vision 2024.

Haley was recently asked by a voter about the battle over carbon intensity scoring and she pledged to look into the issue and respond. A few days later Haley issued a statement supporting the U.S. Argonne National Laboratory GREET model over a European model that unfairly discriminates against farm products.

“Amb. Haley has shown she is dedicated to listening to Iowa farmers, learning and educating herself about the promise biofuels hold for the future,” stated Iowa Renewable Fuels Association Vice President Brad Wilson, the president/general manager of Western Iowa Energy, a biodiesel producing company, headquartered in Wall Lake, Iowa. “We appreciate her support on the key issues facing farmers and biofuels producers. With the right leadership, the Midwest can play a prominent role in meeting America’s energy needs.”

Haley joins Gov. Ron DeSantis as the second candidate checking all the Biofuels Vision boxesn. All GOP candidates who are actively campaigning in Iowa support a growing role for biofuels and a permanent national year-round E15 fix, while opposing laws and regulations that directly or indirectly mandate electric vehicle (EV) purchases. Other issues on the list include proper enactment of the RFS, preserving biofuels tax credits, adopting the GREET model, unlocking higher blends, and supporting a farm bill energy title.

“While we are excited that two candidates have taken positive positions on all eight of our priority issues, there is still time for other candidates to join them prior to the First-in-the-Nation Iowa Caucuses on January 15,” said Wilson.

Biofuels Vision 2024 is a coalition of Iowa organizations and citizens tracking candidates’ stances on eight issues vital to the future of biofuels and the Iowa economy. The coalition does not endorse or rank candidates.
