Ethanol producer warns Biden E15 waiver is not a long-term solution

The CEO of a Wisconsin ethanol producer says President Biden’s E15 announcement is still just a temporary fix to a problem his administration helped create.

Erik Huschitt from Badger State Ethanol tells Brownfield it’s good to have the waiver back again but, “We started with having that waiver through the Trump administration. It was Biden’s EPA that denied that emergency waiver, so it then put us on a crash course for this summer of, how in the world are we going to get E15 to the customers at a time when they need it most?”

Huschitt says consumers, farmers, and ethanol producers need a permanent, long-term E15 year-round rule and not just a temporary solution.
