Click here to read the op-ed in full or read an excerpt below: We already know E15 works. It is compatible with 97% of vehicles on the road today and can be delivered through existing infrastructure. Summertime waivers have demonstrated its success, but we cannot continue to substitute temporary fixes for permanent solutions. The question is no longer whether E15 makes sense; it does. The question is whether my colleagues in Congress will join me and do the right thing. Nationwide, year-round E15 is not just an energy policy; it is a practical step toward a stronger, more secure, and affordable future. With unprecedented support from the administration and leadership across Washington, the opportunity is here. It’s time for bad actors to get out of the way so Congress can cement America’s energy independence by making nationwide, year-round E15 a reality once and for all. | 1 | 2026-05-22T06:27:39Z | 2026-05-22T06:29:18Z |
