WaPo: Biden slams ethanol as ineffective

Joe Biden is dismissing his recent trip to Iowa with Cindy Axne as an ineffective photo-op.

The Washington Post reports “President Biden seemed upbeat when he visited an Iowa biofuels plant in April to talk about bringing down gas prices, standing before a large tractor as he declared that ‘biofuels have a role to play right now’ and announced a plan to expand the use of ethanol over the summer.

“But privately, Biden dismissed the policy as ineffective and questioned the value of the trip, according to two people familiar with the conversations… Biden had worried even before the announcement that it exaggerated ethanol’s ability to cut gas prices and could harm his climate goals, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations.”

Does Cindy Axne agree with Joe Biden that year-round E15 access is an ineffective way to lower costs at the pump?
