Fossil fuel industry launches new ad campaign to “check” ethanol

In Washington, the American Fuel and Petroleum Manufacturers Association launched an advertising campaign asking President Trump to keep his promise to protect U.S. refiners from unchecked ethanol mandates that threaten to “kill our jobs.” This campaign comes on the heels of increasing calls from the ethanol industry to eliminate small refinery exemptions – a critical lifeline for small refineries that experience disproportionate economic hardship from the Renewable Fuel Standard. The campaign is running in Washington D.C., Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and Michigan.
