Key takeaways

  • Unfortunately, evidence shows that is not the case.
  • In reality, year-round E15 legislation would deepen an environmentally damaging and economically inefficient policy while increasing costs for American families already struggling with inflation.
  • And let s be real, the proposal is not about energy independence.

Why this matters: political developments that affect policy direction and public trust.
