TFB opposes H.R. 5180, the Food and Fuel Consumer Protection Act of 2016. H.R. 5180 would amend the Clean Air Act by revising the renewable fuel program, which requires transportation fuel to contain a minimum volume of renewable fuel. The legislation would require the EPA to cap the total volume of ethanol blended into the transportation fuel supply at 9.7 percent of projected gasoline demand as determined by the Energy Information Administration. TFB works to make sure similar legislation isnt introduced in 2017, as it discourages the production of renewable energy and crops used to produce renewable fuels
