The Senate is considering a similar amendment. It also reduces the need for Americans to import 90,000 barrels of gasoline a day. This home-grown, renewable resource has a tremendous future in our country. In addition to boosting American jobs, ethanol will help clean our environment and wean us from our tremendous dependence on foreign oil. Our automakers are already buying into the alternative fuel and are designing future vehicles for ethanol consumption.
Ethanol is a product that deserves our support.
