    A strong Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) is critically important to Minnesota, where ethanol produced from corn creates an estimated $6.7 billion in economic output and supports almost 18,000 jobs across the state.

        But if the EPA is going continue to allow refineries to get around RFS requirements by granting them waivers, the amount of ethanol and other renewables used in the nation’s fuel supply will fall far short of the target levels announced today.

        The EPA needs to step up and ensure that our nation meets the 19.88 billion target, and I plan to hold them accountable for doing so. https://www.facebook.com/576525459360552/posts/670431029969994/ …

        Hi Senator: there are actually a lot of reasons why ethanol isn’t a good path to rural prosperity. One of them is that we’re growing far too much monoculture corn, using too much commercial fertilizer and pesticides, and it’s depleting our soil and poisoning our water.

        Uff da! Hadn’t seen that aspect of it before. The Corn Growers’ and other commodity groups’ propaganda machine is a big problem, for sure, and far too many elected officials fall for it.

        time to realize growing corn for fuel is not an equal tradeoff, it is time to put that same attitude to other renewables

        Thank you Sen Smith for supporting clean renewable energy produced right here in MN and the thousands of good jobs provided in rural MN by ethanol!

        Do you not see the irony in saying this when not long ago you proposed an amendment to get around environmental lawsuits against PolyMet? Hypocrite.

        Appointed Senator - Ethanol is ineffective and wasteful to produce. Since you have not ever worked in the real world let me educate you, anything that is worth producing does not require government subsidies. Commercial companies would be making ethanol if it was profitable.

        I disagree Senator. If the industry requires government mandates and subsidies to survive, maybe it's time to consider other alternatives.

        Yes it does, 6 gallons for every gallon of useless gallon of ethanol.

        It seems ironic that you, the chief architect of the Smith Amendment/ PolyMet land-swap deal are talking about making the EPA do anything. You’re hardly better than Scott Pruitt when it comes to environmental issues. Maybe it’s because you’ve taken checks from PolyMet Executives?

        Ron, the Polymet land swap had been in the works long before Tina Smith D-MN took office. Klobuchar and Franken both supported it. Just sayin

        That doesn’t change the fact that it’s bad for Minnesota. The reason I’m focusing on Smith’s support of the bill is that there’s a candidate running against her who isn’t afraid to say the mines are bad and Smith attached a rider to a bill that needed to pass, which is swampy.

        Swampy? LOL. Plenty of good reasons to oppose Polymet but the process has plodded along over ten years. If you want to vote for a Republican Painter is your guy.
