Indiana’s Lt. Governor wants the Environmental Protection Agency to take swift action on setting requirements for the renewable fuels standard.

In a letter to the EPA Administrator, Lt. Governor Sue Ellspermann said the proposed reductions and uncertainty in the volume requirements significantly impacts Indiana farmers and the state’s 14 biofuels plants.

Ellspermann says farmers and biofuels industry leaders have tried to make the best investment decisions possible.

But, she says the proposed reductions have created uncertainty for Hoosiers involved in the renewable fuels industry and decisions on growth, investment, and employment are being damaged.

  • Trying to yet get written word to D.C. emphasizing that I stand with farmers all over the Midwest urgently pleading with the EPA to not …….repeat, NOT, seek to lower the
    RFS (renewable fuel standard) to allow BIG CARBON (Petroleum Institute) to bully us into decreasing the percentage of ethanol in our fuels. Fight fossil fuels wherever possible ! Support the muscles and bones that strain themselves to feed the world and keep it alive, also, with our tax dollars. Support, not strangle farmers!

  • Please read and act upon my message. My family has farmed their land in Nebraska for over 130 years now. While you’re at it, please see that Monsanto and Syngenta are barred from destroying our land through their lying misuse of our land through their greedy support of GMO’s while continuing the harm of their poison compounds.
