Interview with Senator Thune on Supreme Court Nominee and Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Published | Video Starts at 09:11

I've asked twice now the President to sit down with me and a dozen other senators to talk about biofuels and the contribution they can make not only to the fuel supply but also reducing greenhouse gas emissions. They burn so much cleaner than traditional gasoline and they just have shown no interest. (09:11–09:25)
