Klobuchar talks ethanol challenges at Nevada plant

[TexasTowelie]

NEVADA, IOWA -- In order to battle the tough Friday afternoon winds, presidential candidate and Minnesota senator Amy Klobuchar donned a lime-green hard hat and thick pea coat as she toured the Lincolnway Energy Plant in Nevada.

But for the presidential hopeful, battling the wind isn’t the issue, it’s battling major oil companies and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) small-refinery waivers on behalf of ethanol companies.

The waivers grant a small refinery temporary exemption from its annual Renewable Volume Obligations, which determine how many gallons of biofuel refineries will add to the motor fuel mix.

Following her tour of the ethanol plant, Klobuchar held a roundtable discussion with local ethanol plant producers and ethanol experts to hear the concerns and challenges the ethanol industry is facing.

1. Sitting down to listen and learn

is an important part of campaigning. I like what I am hearing about her.

The senator said she would address climate change on day one by entering the United States back into the international climate change agreement, bringing back the clean power standards adopted under the Obama Administration, and re-implementing gas mileage standards.

2. She's ferociously competent. Hope Iowa, which is being swarmed

by Democratic candidates, appreciates her very real substance. A respected survey named her the senate's most effective Democrat based on her record in the embattled minority party, which of course has major difficulty being effective. Yet she did.

5. I really like Klobuchar

And I think her, Harris, and Warren all are great candidates, and have great ideas to fix our country if they were in the WH. I also think the idea that they could not win against trump is a load of BS.

My top four are Harris, Klobuchar, Inslee and Warren. I will vote for whoever wins the nomination, but they are my favorites. I think they will do great in the debates.
