Ricketts Statement on EPA Allowing Summer Sales of E15

April 28, 2023

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) released the following statement in response to the announcement that the Environmental Protection Agency would issue an emergency waiver to allow the sale of E15 this summer:

“E15 is a win for everyone: it saves drivers money at the pump, helps clean our environment, and creates jobs here in America. That’s why it enjoys bipartisan support. Today’s announcement is good news, but our producers deserve a more permanent solution than bureaucratic waivers. It’s time to pass Senator Fischer’s Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act and unleash year-round E15 for good.”
