Dinneen to Offer Testimony

RFA President Bob Dinneen will present testimony to the Senate Energy and Natural Resource Committee at a hearing Thursday on the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007.

Bob Dinneen says the legislation was an historic step forward toward a stronger energy future and the American ethanol industry stands ready to do its part to make the law successful.

Part of Dinneen’s prepared testimony includes the following:

“The enactment of the 2007 Energy Act is a testament to what we can do when we work together toward a shared vision of the future. By increasingly relying on domestically produced renewable fuels, including next generation technologies such as cellulosic ethanol, we can begin the hard work necessary to mitigate the impact of global climate change, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and leave a more stable and sustainable future for generations that follow.�

A complete copy of Dinneen’s remarks will be available Thursday morning on the RFA website.
