November 29, 2001RFA Lauds President Bush for Highlighting Ethanol’s Positive Role in Enhancing Homeland Security and Improving the Farm Economy “Ethanol and biofuels are fuels of the future for this country,” said Bush
WASHINGTON, DC – Speaking to the Farm Journal Forum in Washington, President George W. Bush highlighted ethanol’s ability to enhance homeland security, improve the farm economy, and protect the environment. The remarks came as Bush was encouraging the U.S. Senate to pass an energy bill.
“I also want to improve our homeland security and our economy by having a national energy plan,” stated President Bush. “I want to thank the Farm Journal Forum for emphasizing the importance of ethanol and biofuels. These fuels are gentle on the environment. They are fuels that can be renewed year after year, and fuels that can expand our farm economy. These fuels are made right here in America, so they can't be threatened by any foreign power.”
The President continued, “Ethanol and biofuels are fuels of the future for this country. Since the beginning of my administration, I have strongly supported ethanol and biofuels. And the energy plan I sent to Congress back in the spring supports biofuels. The House passed an energy plan. Now it's time for the Senate to act and pass an energy plan. It's in our national security interests to do so. I look forward to signing a national energy bill.”
“President Bush is to be commended for his strong commitment to ethanol,” said Bob Dinneen, president of the RFA. “We agree with the President that our nation’s energy policy should promote the production and use of ethanol as a way to improve our energy security while protecting the environment and boosting rural economies. Farmers are ready to serve on the front lines of the battle for energy independence.”
Dinneen spoke earlier to the Forum outlining the rapid expansion occurring within the ethanol industry. There are 57 ethanol production facilities operating today that are on track to produce 1.8 billion gallons of ethanol this year. Sixteen additional ethanol plants are under construction that will add more than 400 million gallons of production capacity.
