Everyone is talking about E15 and yet there is still no bill to show for it.
The Renewable Fuels Association just released a comprehensive report on “What They’re Saying” about E15, featuring dozens of statements from members of Congress, President Trump, administration officials, Governors, and industry leaders on the urgent need to pass year-round E15 legislation immediately.
“As this report shows, there is broad bipartisan support—and growing urgency—for legislation that would finally allow year-round, nationwide sales of lower-cost E15,” said RFA President and CEO Geoff Cooper. “There is widespread agreement that the time to act on E15 legislation is right now. This can’t wait any longer. For the sake of America’s farmers and consumers facing higher prices at the pump, Congress must act immediately to allow unfettered access to E15. As gas prices continue to rise and as farmers are facing the worst economic crisis in nearly 50 years, we are again urging Congress to act as quickly as possible. Opening the marketplace to E15 would reduce pump prices, while providing a badly needed demand boost for our nation’s farmers.”
On January 27 in Iowa, President Trump called on leaders in the House and Senate to adopt legislation allowing year-round, nationwide E15 as quickly as possible. “I will sign it without delay,” he said. Nearly two months later, no legislation has been forthcoming from the Congressional council assigned to the task.
Still, members of Congress continue to talk about the need. At a Senate Agriculture Hearing last week, E15 was a constant refrain coming from witnesses and Senators. The National Corn Growers Association even made a reel highlighting the comments.
