Its time to make long-lasting and transformative investments in biofuels

In Congress, I’m focused on supporting family farmers, investing in rural communities and addressing the generational challenges we face as a nation, including tools to address climate change. That’s exactly why I’m a supporter of biofuels. Biofuels offer predictability for farmers, drive economic growth and investment in rural America and decrease the carbon intensity of our transportation sector. These benefits are why I am pushing for immediate policy and budget changes to ensure that biofuels remain a key part of this country’s transition to renewable energy. 
Minnesota is no stranger to renewable fuels like ethanol and is the fourth-largest producer of corn in the United States. Right now, more than half of the district I represent is covered by corn and soybeans. With 19 ethanol plants in our state, this activity contributes between $1 and $2 billion to Minnesota’s GDP annually and last year supported nearly 14,500 full-time jobs. Over the past several years, biofuels like ethanol and biodiesel have helped keep our family farms afloat — even as growers and producers across the country have struggled with overseas trade uncertainty, volatile markets and a global pandemic that disrupted supply chains around the world.
