Summer 2010 Issue

Mr. President, I would like to thank you for taking time to experience first-hand the benefits of ethanol to America.

Five years ago, renewable fuels took a step towards becoming the standard. A renewable fuels volume mandate, the first in the United States, was created. Known as the RFS (Renewable Fuel Standard), this mandate would see many changes over the next five years and accelerate ethanol production at an unprecedented rate.

After losing its new ethanol biorefinery at the start of a worldwide recession, this small Indiana town gets a second chance to participate in the biofuels revolution.
