Trump Reiterates Support for Renewable Fuels
USAgNet - 02/23/2017

In a letter sent Monday to National Ethanol Conference attendees, President Donald Trump reiterated his commitment to ethanol and the Renewable Fuel Standard.

"Rest assured that your president and this administration values the importance of renewable fuels to America's economy and to our energy independence," the memo stated. "As I emphasized throughout my campaign, renewable fuels are essential to America's energy strategy."

Trumps letter went on to say that as important as ethanol and the Renewable Fuel Standard are to rural economies, he feels the industry has suffered from 'overzealous, job-killing regulation.'

"I am committed to reducing the regulatory burden on all businesses, and my team will identify and reform those regulations that impede growth, increase consumer costs, and eliminate good-paying jobs without providing sufficient environmental or public health benefit," Trump added.

National Corn Growers Association President Wesley Spurlock says President Trump understands that the Renewable Fuel Standard is a critical economic driver for rural America.
