Brian Jennings, executive vice president for the American Coalition for Ethanol, said the advocacy group will be hosting a webinar at 11:00 a.m. (CST) on Dec. 17 on how to make comments to the U.S. EPA on the proposed renewable fuel standard (RFS) rule for 2014.
“The individual and personal stories of grassroots ethanol supporters from all walks of life are critically important if we are to make strong and convincing arguments that the administration is wrong to let Big Oil wreck the renewable fuel standard,” said Jennings. “During the webinar ACE will provide tips for submitting persuasive comments to EPA, the rationale for engaging Congress in the comment period, and ways to build grassroots support in your communities in support of the RFS.”
In addition to Jennings, other webinar participants will include ACE Senior Vice President Ron Lamberty and ACE’s Washington D.C. advisor, Jonathon Lehman. More information on how to register is available on the ACE website.
