Congress is currently discussing new mandates. Mandates that would force more and more ethanol into our fuel tanks. The House voted on it just last night. Mr. President, I oppose a year round E15 mandate because it hurts small refineries and all of the people around the country who work in these small refineries. In Wyoming, we have several small refineries. They employ thousands of hard working people. The refineries receive hardship exemptions for something called the renewable fuel standard mandate. Oh, it's a mandate. (00:47–00:51)
