Boating United Issues Alert to Stop Expansion of Ethanol

An action alert has been issued through Boating United to tell President Trump and his administration to protect the boating industry from ethanol. The president is evaluating changes to the Renewable Fuels Standard, the law that mandates ethanol in the country’s fuel supply. In response, the ethanol industry is lobbying to allow for the expanded year-round sale of E15. This would put more ethanol at gas pumps giving boaters fewer options and greater chance of mis-fueling. The marine industry needs to let the president and administration know that more ethanol is not acceptable. Click here to take action.

Questions should be directed to NMMA’s Nicole Vasilaros, vice president of federal and legal affairs, at nvasilaros@nmma.org.
