John Barrasso: “There is cause for concern about its harm to small engines.”

“Mr. President, on a separate matter, the renewable fuel standard program is broken. It is a failed approach to ethanol. It has raised prices for consumers. It has threatened the jobs of American energy workers, and There is cause for concern about its harm to small engines. The Senate is now debating whether to force even higher amounts of ethanol into our fuels. For the sake of American families, for the sake of American workers, we should reject this failed approach.” (07:43–07:48)
