A coalition of Attorneys General representing 16 agriculture and oil producing states joined together to push for year-round E15 in the upcoming Congressional funding package, known as a continuing resolution (CR). The letter asking Congress to include E15 in the upcoming CR, led by Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird, answers the call to use national assets like biofuels in fulfilling President Trump’s vision for America’s energy-independent future. Iowa Renewable Fuels Association (IRFA) Executive Director Monte Shaw made the following statement:
“We stand with these attorneys general to say the time has come to settle year-round E15 once and for all. Congress must put E15 in the upcoming CR. This multi-state effort representing both agriculture and oil producing states is a huge testament to the widespread support behind unleashing year-round E15 nationwide. Consumers in all 50 states deserve to save 15 to 20 cents a gallon with E15. Corn farmers deserve a growing market during these difficult times. And we can accomplish those things without requiring oil refiners to comply on a state-by-state basis. But that takes action from Congress. IRFA members thank Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird for her leadership in bringing this coalition together to pursue a common solution. Now, let’s see this over the finish line.”
