The Democratic co-chair of America’s Renewable Fuel, a bipartisan pro-renewable fuels group which is monitoring presidential candidates on their positions, has praised Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on her statement on advanced biofuels on Saturday and invited her on an ethanol plant tour.
“… We will make America the clean energy superpower of the 21st century [by] developing renewable power — wind, solar, advanced biofuels; building cleaner power plants, smarter electric grids, greener buildings; using additional fees and royalties from fossil fuel extraction to protect the environment,” the group quoted Clinton saying at her New York rally.
“Secretary Clinton has shown great insight and leadership on the issue of advanced biofuels and she clearly understands that renewable fuel is a key component of a 21st century energy policy,” said former Iowa Agriculture Secretary and Lt. Gov. Patty Judge.
“Renewable fuel supports over 852,000 American jobs, reduces our dependence on foreign oil, and gives consumers cleaner, less expensive choices at the pump.”
“We are grateful for her recognition of the role biofuels can play in our energy development, but the key to success for advanced biofuels is a partnership with first generation biofuels,” added Judge, “We invite Secretary Clinton to tour a plant and learn how we only fulfill the promise of advanced biofuels by having a strong corn ethanol industry.”
