The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) is the only tool that provides market access so that ethanol and other renewable fuels are sold in competition with petroleum. Attacking the RFS is forcing Iowa farmers and the ethanol industry out of the competitive market. My amendment to H.R. 8 simply states that, any law that reduces market access or changes the tax structure of one energy industry has to proportionately affect the entire energy sector. By supporting a free and competitive market, it has allowed the innovation of the biofuels sector to lower prices at the pump, create American jobs, and secure Americas domestic energy supply.
