(NAFB.com) – The Renewable Fuels Association, Growth Energy, and the National Corn Growers Association released a statement regarding the lack of progress toward a legislative solution offering consumers permanent year-round E15 access. After reaching an impasse in January, House leaders agreed to establish an E15 Rural Domestic Energy Council, which was charged with reaching a deal on consensus legislation no later than February 15. No such deal was announced as the deadline passed. “House leaders already have bipartisan, consensus legislation that has broad support from the overwhelming majority of biofuels, agriculture, fuel retail, and oil refining interests,” leaders of the three groups said in the statement. “The solution is there on the table, and we urge council members to refocus their attention on proposals that already have widespread support.” They also said E15 champions in Congress and the administration understand that voters want more American-made energy, lower pump prices, and a stronger farm economy, so House and Senate leaders “should listen.”
