A broad coalition of trade groups representing ethanol producers, petroleum refiners, farmers, and retailers sent a letter to the co-chairs of the new E15 Rural Domestic Energy Council calling for swift action on year-round E15 access. “The window for arriving at a recommended legislative solution is short, with the council expected to submit legislative solutions to the full House by February 15,” the letter said. “We applaud this expedited time frame as fuel producers and retailers are making decisions now about product offerings over the next year, farmers are making planting decisions, and a legislative fix is needed as soon as possible to provide fuel producers and retailers with a predictable policy framework as we approach the summer driving season.” To “achieve a solution in short order,” the groups urged the lawmakers to build upon HR 1346, the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act, which was amended and offered by Representative Adrian Smith of Nebraska.
