by Cindy Zimmerman on Jan 27, 2009More from Vilsack’s Press Conference
I have been on the road since early yesterday morning but have some audio from Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack’s press conference yesterday.
Vilsack was asked directly about increasing the blend cap for ethanol. A reporter asked if sound science and data supports an expansion of the ethanol blending cap. While he did not directly answer the question, Vilsack said that USDA would support accelerating research on ethanol production and promoting second and third generation feedstocks.
You can listen to the Secretary’s answer to that question here:
