Ernst praises E15 legislation
US Senator Joni Ernst says the Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act, recently introduced in the Senate, would bring nationwide certainty to the sales of E15.
The Iowa Republican tells Brownfield the bill would allow states to sell E15 year-round without restriction. “I know this administration has really pushed heavily on electric vehicles, but folks we’re just not there yet,” Ernst said. “What we do have at our disposal right now is E15.”
She says the bill is expected to move forward in the new Congress. “I’ll just be brutally honest,” Ernst said. “We’ve got a lot of work in front of us and we have yet to hear how the rest of the year’s schedule is going to play out from the Democratic leader Chuck Schumer.”
Ernst says the legislation is being backed by the petroleum industry.
