Wisconsin Representative Derrick Van Orden, who sits on the Rural Domestic Energy Council, says he remains hopeful about reaching an agreement on E15 fuel despite ongoing complications in the negotiations.
The Third District Republican told Brownfield that while the nationwide E15 discussions are extremely delicate, he maintains optimism that negotiators will reach a successful agreement.
