Thune Statement on Approval of Summertime E15 Fuel Sales
Statement
Issues: Oil and Gas
"As I have repeatedly made clear to the Biden administration, biofuels are a common-sense, readily available energy solution that should be utilized to their full potential. I'm glad the president listened to my repeated calls to extend E15 fuel sales through the summer, which is the right move to give American drivers a lower-cost option at the gas pump. Higher blends of home-grown ethanol enhance our energy security, lower emissions, and provide a vital market for South Dakota farmers. I will continue to press for biofuels to play a significant role in a truly all-of-the-above energy strategy and work toward making E15 fuel a permanent fixture at gasoline retailers across the country."
