He has been a longtime supporter of American agriculture and renewable fuels. The following is a statement from Renewable Fuels Association President and CEO Geoff Cooper: "On behalf of ethanol producers across the country, RFA congratulates Senator Thune on his election as the next Senate Majority Leader. We are excited to continue working with him as he takes on this new role, and we are thrilled to see that the Senate's top position will be held by someone with a deep understanding of the opportunities and challenges facing America's renewable fuel sector and our partners in agriculture. Senator Thune has consistently advocated for policies that promote ethanol as a strategy for enhancing energy security, lowering pump prices, supporting rural economies, and reducing emissions. His efforts to defend the Renewable Fuel Standard, expand access to higher ethanol blends like E15 and E85, and support new technologies and innovation have been instrumental in our industry's success over the past two decades. We are confident that as Majority Leader, Senator Thune will continue championing policies that promote sustainable energy, foster innovation, and benefit rural America. We look forward to working together on advancing a cleaner, more resilient energy future for our country." Tweet |
