As Congress considers legislation to repeal or change the country’s renewable fuel policy, members of the largest ethanol trade group arrived in Washington this week to promote their industry and rebuke attacks from oil companies they say are trying to quell demand for their product, reports Christopher Doering in The Des Moines Register.
Nearly 150 members of Growth Energy traveled to Washington for three days of meetings with House and Senate lawmakers and members of the Obama administration to talk about the corn-based fuel, according to The Register. Also on the agenda was an address to the group by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.
