Iowa representatives send letter to EPA administrator to prioritize US energy independence

In Washington, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) led Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA), Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA), Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA), and Rep. Cindy Axne (D-IA) in sending a letter to EPA Administrator Michael Regan urging the Biden Administration to prioritize American energy independence amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine and record-high fuel prices at home. 

As the top ethanol producing state in the nation, the lawmakers are specifically requesting that the Administration promote and incorporate Iowa-made ethanol and other biofuels in an American energy strategy that significantly reduces U.S. reliance on foreign oil and gas imports.
