All Iowans Should Have Access to Lower-Cost, Cleaner Fuels Like E15 and B20!
Governor Reynold’s Biofuels Access Bill Ensures Iowans Have Those Options
“Iowans deserve access to less expensive, cleaner-burning fuel, grown and made right here,” — Governor Reynolds
The growth and success of rural Iowa hangs in the balance. This legislative session, Iowa’s leaders must band together to ensure all consumers have access to cleaner-burning, lower-cost biofuels. As the nation’s leading producer of biofuels, Iowa has a lot to gain by expanding consumer access to higher blends all year round.
- Iowa biofuels support nearly 46,000 jobs, including several high-paying high-tech jobs in rural areas.
- Biofuels add more than $5 billion to Iowa’s economy.
- 60% of Iowa’s corn is processed at an Iowa ethanol plant.
- Growing markets for ethanol grows markets for Iowa’s most productive farmers.
- Most recent Des Moines Register Iowa Poll found 85% of Iowans from rural and urban areas and across party lines recognize ethanol is important to Iowa’s economic success.
What does the Governor’s Biofuel Legislation mean:
- YES to increasing consumer choice at the pump
- YES to putting more money into the Road Use Tax Fund
- YES to saving Iowan’s money and growing jobs in rural Iowa
- NO retailer will be forced to shut down or make costly rebuilds i.e. break concrete
- NO restrictions on sale of fuel including E0, E10, B0, B5, or B11
- NO labeling requirements or regulations on how retailers sell fuel
