FUELIowa Advocates for Iowa’s Fuel Industry in Washington, DC

Last week, Glenn Hasken of Molo Oil, and Reo Menning and John Maynes of FUELIowa met with Iowa’s Congressional leadership to advocate for policies and funding critical to the fuels industry.  Topping the list were (1) reinstating and extending the biodiesel tax credit, (2) federal funding for E15 fueling infrastructure, and (3) policies to help increase CDL drivers with hazmat certification in the workforce. In discussing the biodiesel tax credit, Congresswoman Finkenauer was confident it would be reinstated for 2018 and 2019, stating she would not have introduced her bill in the House if she did not think it would have support. All the elected leaders were supportive of policies to grow renewable fuels, and were very aware of the need to address the CDL driver shortage issue that affected all parts of the nation.
