"President Trump is unleashing American Energy Dominance, and today's action will directly lower prices at the pump and gives a clear demand signal to our domestic biofuels producers."
"The summer waiver for E15 has become commonplace in recent years, and both Republicans and Democrats have called for it to become year-round and permanent to lower prices at the pump."
"Gillingham also said the higher levels of corrosive ethanol in E15 can be a risk especially to older cars, boats and all-terrain vehicles."
"More corn used for ethanol also means less can be used for animal feed, said Jason Hill, a professor at the University of Minnesota who studies food, energy, and environmental issues."
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has temporarily allowed the sale of E15, a higher ethanol gas blend, to help reduce soaring consumer prices linked to the Iran war. E15 sales are typically halted in summer due to air pollution concerns. While some lawmakers advocate for year-round E15 sales, experts express skepticism about its effectiveness in lowering prices, citing infrastructure limitations and potential risks to older vehicles. Additionally, increased corn usage for ethanol could impact animal feed availability.
