Should the U.S. fuel industry become more reliant on ethanol? The short answer to this question is an emphatic “yes!” But we also must be sure not to become overly reliant on just corn-based ethanol. H.R. 670, the Dependence Reduction through Innovation in Vehicles and Energy Act, a bipartisan bill Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) and I have introduced, would help develop technologies such as cellulosic ethanol, biodiesel, biobutanol and plug-in hybrids so that our drivers have an array of fuel choices and are not dependent on one narrow technology.
