Washington, D.C. —  “After years of obstruction and delay, I’m proud the Congress is sending the President an energy plan. We are making ethanol a cornerstone of our energy policy, strengthening our economy and environment. This is a win-win for farmers and consumers across America looking for energy relief. Reducing our dependence on foreign sources of energy by investing more in South Dakota’s renewable resources will create new jobs and strengthen our national security. I look forward to seeing the President sign this long delayed bill.” – Senator John Thune
