Growth Energy Releases Federal Policy Roadmap to Revitalize Rural America and Unleash American Energy Dominance

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Growth Energy, the nation’s largest biofuel trade association, released a roadmap to revitalize rural America today, identifying specific policy goals and actions the 119th Congress and the incoming Trump administration should take to unleash American energy dominance through the expanded use of homegrown American ethanol, which holds down gas prices, strengthens our domestic energy production, brings jobs and prosperity to rural America, and delivers cleaner air.

“President-elect Trump has made it clear that revitalizing rural America will be a priority for his administration, and biofuels are key to accomplishing that goal,” said Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor. “From securing year-round E15 for all Americans and spurring new investments in aviation fuel to driving innovation and unleashing American energy dominance in the global market, these policy recommendations align with President-elect Trump’s agenda, and we look forward to working with his administration and with our champions in Congress to bring jobs and prosperity to rural America.”

The four-part roadmap is below.

Rebuild the Farm Economy

Only biofuels can unlock the investments and jobs needed to restore the rural economy. We cannot allow regulatory uncertainty to hold back billions of dollars of investment into rural communities.

Lower Fuel Costs

E15 reduces fuel prices — but only when federal regulations don’t block consumer access. It’s time to lift the needless regulations standing between U.S. consumers and lower-cost E15, so all Americans can make their own fuel and vehicle choices.

Drive American Innovation

Pro-growth tax policy can unlock billions of dollars in new investments in U.S. energy innovation. With proper implementation, new tax credits could be the starting pistol for rural communities waiting to access new economic opportunities and deliver on the promise of climate-smart agriculture.

Win Global Markets

America is the world’s largest producer and exporter of biofuels. With fair access to foreign markets, American producers will dominate the global bioeconomy.
