Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins addressed participants at the USDA’s Ag Outlook Forum, emphasizing that legislative action is required to enable nationwide E15 ethanol fuel availability throughout the year.
“While the Trump administration has gone as far as we possibly can on E15, we are asking Congress to step up, answer the call and to finally get nationwide, year-round E15,” Rollins stated during her remarks to forum attendees.
The secretary’s comments highlight the administration’s position that executive measures have reached their limit regarding E15 authorization, and that lawmakers must now take the lead to advance the ethanol fuel initiative on a national scale.
