Plain-English Summary

This bill would likely promote the use of ethanol fuel, a renewable fuel made from crops like corn, as a way to reduce dependence on oil and lower greenhouse gas emissions. The legislation would probably affect fuel producers, farmers who grow ethanol feedstock, and drivers by potentially increasing ethanol blending requirements in gasoline or providing incentives for ethanol production and use. Environmental groups and the fuel industry would have competing interests in how the bill is structured and implemented.
