ENERGY

GMA supports the goal of reducing reliance on fossil fuels and believes that biofuels can play an important role. GMA supports the development of sustainable and energy efficient fuel alternatives in a market-based environment. We also support policies that ensure that the country can increase biofuels production without impacting the food industry's ability to continue to provide reliable and affordable food to the nation and other markets.
