Have you commented on EPA ethanol proposal?

#1 Post by Bamby » Mon Jan 13, 2014 6:25 pm

The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) is asking boaters to contact the Environmental Protection Agency and voice their support of a proposal to reduce the requirement for higher concentrations of ethanol in the nation’s gasoline fuel supply. The feedback deadline is January 28.

In November, the EPA announced its proposal to modify the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and to reduce the amount of ethanol required to be blended into the nation’s fuel supply.

To make it easier for boaters to create and send a message to the EPA, the NMMA has set up a special page, which you can connect to by clicking here.

“We already know that the ethanol and corn lobbies are submitting thousands of comments,” the NMMA says. “We can’t sit on the sidelines. It’s time to take action and let the EPA know that you want lower ethanol mandates in 2014.”

A canned comment in support is as easy as filling out a form and clicking.

Done.
As a side note, we are fortunate that here at Lake of the Ozarks all the marinas carry ethanol free fuel (87 octane).
