Tom Vilsack has officially been nominated to serve as Secretary of Agriculture in the Biden Administration, reprising the role he held under President Obama for eight years, and the biofuels industry is quite happy with that decision. Renewable Fuels Association President and CEO Geoff Cooper says Vilsack is an excellent choice. “We are especially happy to have someone in the Biden administration who intimately understands the crucial role renewable fuels and agriculture can play in confronting climate change. We thank the president-elect and look forward to working once again with the new secretary once he takes office.” During his time as Secretary, Vilsack frequently attended the major agricultural and biofuels events, including the National Ethanol Conference, National Biodiesel Conference, Commodity Classic, ACE Annual Meeting, and the Iowa Renewable Fuels Summit.
