Renewable Fuels Association board chairman Erik Huschitt says there are both big challenges and big opportunities right now for the ethanol industry but he remains optimistic about the future.
“I’m optimistic because I know science is on our side,” said Huschitt, who is CEO of Badger State Ethanol. “And I know that the brilliant people and the passion in this room will not be overcome by any politician naysayer that exists in the marketplace.”
Huschitt says most people in the ethanol industry are “time tested” by the ups and downs they have experienced over the years. “Being in the ethanol industry, nothing comes in a straight line and nothing is easy,” he said.
