U.S. Senator Joni Ernst , a member of the Senate Agriculture and Environment and Public Works Committees, is backing bipartisan legislation aimed at increasing market access for biofuel and continuing to allow retailers across the country to sell E15 and other higher-ethanol fuel blends year-round, eliminating confusion at the pump.
“I fought hard to give consumers access to E15 twelve months of the year—including the summer driving season—and I was extremely disappointed by the D.C. Circuit Court’s recent decision. Iowa farmers, biofuel producers, and American consumers need certainty, and they need it now. That’s why I’m working with Democrats and Republicans to ensure this cleaner, more affordable option stays available at the pump year-round,”
