Geoff Cooper is the CEO of the Renewable Fuels Association. He says he wants to see support for flex-fuel vehicles and a clear path forward on tax credits for Sustainable Aviation Fuel production. He says airplanes are running on SAF right now, and they want more of it. Cooper says renewable fuel has a champion in the Trump administration -- Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins has been a biofuel advocate, and President Trump himself has been a vocal proponent of ethanol. The goal for the RFA is to get the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Transportation on board with advancing both Sustainable Aviation Fuel and flex-fuel vehicles. This Washington Watch news update is brought to you by the Wisconsin Soybean Association, dedicated to ensuring policies are in place for the future of soybean farmers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Geoff Cooper, CEO of the Renewable Fuels Association, says former New York congressman Lee Zeldin doesn't have the best track record with biofuel. Now that President-elect Donald Trump has tapped him to run the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, will that change? Geoff says the EPA touches ethanol almost every day, and he feels economic and political dynamics have changed in ethanol's favor. The first order of business for RFA is to get EPA to publish a final rule on Renewable Fuel Standard volumes for 2026 and beyond. Geoff says this would ensure more ethanol gets blended into fuel, which lowers the price at the gas pump. In addition, RFA wants to see support for Sustainable Aviation Fuel with a clear path forward on tax credits for SAF production. He says while the U.S. leads the world in ethanol production, we're at risk of missing out on leading the world in new ethanol uses, such as SAF.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
