 Fuel Flex International, LLC's Board, CEO, Alex Conger, CFO Gary Ackaret and President Curtis Lacy will Join the ACE "Journey to Washington DC."
As proud board members for The American Coalition for Ethanol" we know that strength is its grassroots membership, and we want to mobilize these ethanol supporters to bring the month of March "in like a lion" for ethanol by participating in ACE's Biofuels Beltway March in Washington, DC, March 2-3, 2009. This event in the nation's capitol will include meetings with key Members of Congress, their advisors, and discussions with Obama's administration officials and other biofuel advocates.There has never been a more urgent time to make a unified ethanol voice heard on Capitol Hill. As the 111th Congress begins and Barack Obama becomes the nation's 44th president, consider the many critical policy issues facing the ethanol industry:
- Congress and the Obama administration are developing an economic stimulus and recovery package to support green-collar jobs and renewable energy.
- An arbitrary regulation limits ethanol use in gasoline to just 10 percent and the looming E10 blend wall threatens not only the prosperity of corn ethanol but also promises to bring investment in cellulosic biofuel to a grinding halt.
- "Low carbon" is the new catchphrase in DC, EPA and Congress will work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and some ethanol opponents' computer-generated models predict obscure "indirect land use changes" which accuse corn ethanol of being anything but low carbon.
- The 45 cent per gallon blenders' credit (or VEETC - the Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit) expires in 2010 and will need to be extended.
- Brazil is lobbying to kill the duty on ethanol imports.
- Big Food and other ethanol opponents continue to spread misinformation about ethanol and food prices.
