-- 週二,超過30個再生燃料利益相關團體聯名致函美國國會議員,敦促他們將一項修正案附加到農業法案中,該修正案將允許E15汽油在全美全年銷售。 據愛荷華州可再生燃料協會稱,這些團體代表了來自全國各地的農民和可再生燃料生產商,他們已致信美國眾議院議長邁克·約翰遜和眾議院農業委員會主席G·T·湯普森。 雖然尚未確定何時進行辯論,但提交農業法案修正案的截止日期已過。這項E15修正案是由愛荷華州眾議員蘭迪·芬斯特拉共同主持的E15農村國內能源委員會提出的。 E15的支持者希望眾議院規則委員會能夠批准這項修正案。 愛荷華州可再生燃料協會執行董事蒙特·肖表示:“愛荷華州可再生燃料協會很榮幸能參與這封聯名信,信中代表了從德克薩斯州到北達科他州,從內布拉斯加州到俄亥俄州的農民。” 「我們相信,如果E15汽油能夠獲得眾議院兩黨的支持,就應該進行投票表決。無論如何,現在是時候推廣E15汽油了,這樣既可以降低汽油價格,又能提高農民收入,增強美國的能源安全,」肖補充道。
