Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan has announced the agency will approve an emergency waiver allowing the sale of E15, a fuel blend made with 15% ethanol, during the summer driving season.
Craig Meeker, a sorghum farmer from Wellington, is chairman of the National Sorghum Producers. He said, “The sale of E15 is good for not only American sorghum farmers and ethanol producers but also the American consumer. Sorghum made into climate-friendly ethanol gives consumers access to home-grown, cleaner fuel that will help lower the price at the pump for everyone."
Meeker added, "We appreciate Administrator Regan and the Biden Administration for acknowledging these benefits and encourage the EPA pursue a permanent fix to E15, eliminating unnecessary restrictions that support a pathway to greater energy independence and security for our nation.”
