Speaker says Iowa Renewable Fuels Standard a ‘difficult push’ in 2021
Dan Dawson
The chairman of a key committee says a “complicated proposal” to expand use of ethanol and biodiesel in Iowa hasn’t been “killed” for the year, but Senator Dan Dawson says it’s not “greased for passage” either.
“What the future looks like, I cannot tell,” Dawson said Thursday. “…There’s a lot more work to be done on this before we find any consensus.”
Dawson was among a handful of Senators who listened to feedback on the plan for about an hour yesterday. It began with Logan Shine, an advisor to Governor Kim Reynolds, suggesting critics were spreading “misinformation” about what Reynolds has called a Renewable Fuels Standard for Iowa.
