Social Media: Tweet - "President Trump claims he loves ethanol and biodiesel. But after his watered-down Renewable Fuel Standards deal that fails to fully restore lost gallons and still allows oil refineries to stop blending biofuels, I say I'll believe it when I see it."
12/13/2019
Social Media: Tweet - "It took decades to build up biofuels. But in two years the Trump Admin. has crippled this industry by issuing so many secret waivers to profitable big oil companies, destroying corn and soybean demand for biofuels. Another giant gap between this President's words and reality."

10/29/2019
Social Media: Tweet - "For decades, the fossil fuel industry has pumped money into the political process in order to block any meaningful action on climate change & to maintain their profit margins.

Social Media: Tweet - "The @EPA has given 81 waivers to oil refineries, ruining demand for ethanol and biodiesel, and destroying markets for corn and soybean farmers. I'm joining my @SenateDems colleagues in calling on the EPA to end this practice immediately."
Social Media: Tweet - "The Trump Administration's plan to open up the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas exploration is shortsighted and dangerous. We should be doing everything we can to protect our precious natural resources, not the opposite."

Letter: Letter to the Hon. Donald J. Trump, President of the United States - Klobuchar, Duckworth Lead Colleagues in Urging President to Help Rural Americans, and the Environment, by Upholding the Intent of the Renewable Fuel Standard
09/11/2019
Social Media: Tweet - "Thank you to the Illinoisans from @GrowthEnergy for presenting me with the Fueling Growth Award for my ethanol support. EPA snuck 81 waivers to oil refineries despite record profits, which closed 15 ethanol plants, hitting 2,500 rural jobs."
