Biden Administration Heeds Baldwin’s Calls to Sell E15 Fuel and Support Wisconsin Agriculture
E15 and biofuels reduce the price at the pump and support Wisconsin’s farmers, producers, and rural communities
WISCONSIN – U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin is applauding the Biden administration for heeding her calls and announcing that they will expand the sale of E15 fuel to be sold during the summer months. In March, Senator Baldwin and a group of Democratic and Republican colleagues called on the Biden administration to permit the year-round sale of E15 fuel in 2023. Senator Baldwin also joined a bipartisan group of colleagues in introducing legislation to allow the year-round, nationwide sale of ethanol blends higher than 10%. Senator Baldwin has long advocated for more permanent biofuel regulations to help lower fuel prices, support farmers and producers, and provide the needed certainty in fuel markets.
“American biofuels are a homegrown energy solution that support Wisconsin’s farmers and producers, help drive down the price at the pump, and reduce our dependence on foreign oil,” said Senator Baldwin. “I applaud the Biden administration’s action to ensure cleaner E15 fuel is available this summer, supporting jobs in rural communities and moving our Made in Wisconsin economy forward.”Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued an emergency fuel waiver to allow E15 gasoline to be sold during the summer driving season.

Interesting.
What is Senator Baldwin doing to hold those in the military that fail accountable? What is she doing to redirect military spending toward education?
The more fundamental question is, why isn’t the US active military involved in efforts to help US civilians during natural disasters? Trillions are spent on the US military, and what do we have to show for all of this money? Waste and failures. Where is the US military helping with education or stopping gun violence, and what about all those overdose deaths?
There used to be the Civilian Conservation Corps. We now have Generals receiving full pay in retirements . . . No accountability for failure. Isn’t Senator Baldwin (and Johnson) supposed to be providing some oversight?
I would be interested in the paper asking hard questions.
Smart move for Wisconsin.
