President Trump’s executive order on energy includes a provision to ensure year-round sales of E15. It is a move the Administration says will address gasoline shortages while boosting ethanol demand.
This follows his 2019 effort to allow year-round E15 sales, which was overturned in court. Ethanol supporters, like Growth Energy, told DTN that this is a step toward reducing consumer costs.
On a call with ag reporters, Senator Chuck Grassley said the move will support rural communities and help enhance U.S. energy independence.
“So by unleashing all forms of American energy, we’ll be less dependent upon foreign supplies, and doing what Chuck Grassley said for decades should be our approach. Americans will be less vulnerable to large swings in energy prices that push the price tag on utility bills, input costs, and groceries. We always pay attention to the price of gasoline, and if it goes down, we figure it’s going to be cheaper when we fill up our gas tank. But if you consider that the cost of energy is spread out through all of the supply chains on every goods and groceries, and hard large accessory purchases; if you get the cost of energy down, it’s going to be reflected.”
Grassley said the decision to allow year-round E15 sales in eight states has already made a difference, particularly for oil companies. He says any further action should be met with less pushback moving forward.
AFBF Vice President of Public Policy and Economic Analysis, Dr. John Newton, explains the factors contributing to the growing financial strain in the ag sector and the urgent need for swift economic support.
