再生可能燃料団体は、全米規模のE15ガソリン販売を新たな農業法案に盛り込むよう米国の議員に要請した。

-- 30以上の再生可能燃料関連団体が火曜日、米国の議員に対し、E15ガソリンの全国的な通年販売を可能にする修正案を農業法案に盛り込むよう求める書簡を送付した。 アイオワ再生可能燃料協会によると、全米各地の農家や再生可能燃料生産者を代表するこれらの団体は、マイク・ジョンソン下院議長とG・T・トンプソン下院農業委員長宛てに書簡を送付した。 本会議での審議はまだ行われていないが、下院農業法案への修正案提出期限は過ぎている。E15修正案は、アイオワ州選出のランディ・フィーンストラ下院議員が共同議長を務めるE15農村国内エネルギー協議会の活動の成果である。 E15支持者たちは、この修正案が下院規則委員会で採択されることを期待している。 アイオワ再生可能燃料協会のモンテ・ショー事務局長は、「テキサス州からノースダコタ州、ネブラスカ州からオハイオ州まで、全米の農家が参加するこの書簡に、アイオワ再生可能燃料協会が名を連ねていることを誇りに思います」と述べた。 「E15が採決にかけられれば、下院本会議で超党派の支持を得られると確信しています。いずれにせよ、E15を普及させてガソリン価格を引き下げ、農家の収入を増やし、米国のエネルギー安全保障を強化する時が来ています」とショー氏は付け加えた。
