The Corn Hustlers like Rubio a bit more:

I don’t think that Washington should be picking winners and losers. When it comes to biofuel, when it comes to ethanol, ethanol is competitive in the marketplace and will remain competitive in the marketplace without a federal mandate from Washington.

“I think anytime government tries to pick winners and losers, it’s a mistake.”

“The answer you’d like me to give is, ‘I’m for the RFS.’ Darn it, that would be the easy thing to do,” Mr. Cruz said. “But I tell you, people are pretty fed up, I think, with politicians that run around and tell one group one thing and tell another group another thing.”

Senator Marco Rubio

NEEDS WORK…

Tweet The Candidate

Senator Rubio replied to a question about the Renewable Fuel Standard in the Iowa Farm Bureau’s candidate questionnaire: https://www.iowafarmbureau.com/News/2016-Farmers-Caucus/Read-the-Candidates-Positions

Question: “Do you support the Renewable Fuels Standard as passed by Congress, and oppose the EPA’s proposed reduction of renewable fuel usage required in the liquid fuel supply?”

Sen. Rubio: “We must move towards market-based energy policies where all sources are self-sustainable without government mandates. However, many have made investments based on the RFS law, and I do not support pulling the rug out from underneath them.”

In the Senate, Rubio has voted against ethanol subsidies. He said Wednesday that he supports a mandate for renewable fuels like the federal Renewable Fuel Standard, although he believes it must be phased out over time.

He said his positions are rooted in the experience of farmers in Florida, who he said have been harmed by unfair international trade.

“If there’s ever an area where I’ve been willing to use government to assist an industry, it’s been agriculture because it’s an industry that faces unfair global competition and if we lose the industry you can’t get it back,” he said.
