| Description | Republican candidate for governor Jim Nussle on Monday proposed that all gasoline sold in Iowa contain ethanol.
"Growing Iowa's production and consumption of renewable fuels is essential to a strong and continued growth for Iowa's economy," Nussle told reporters at the construction site of an ethanol plant near Fairbank. "Fellow Iowans, it's time to choose Iowa energy."
The ethanol requirement is one part of a Nussle energy proposal to make one-fifth of Iowa's energy use the product of renewable sources by 2020.
Nussle's GOP opponent Bob Vander Plaats said Nussle's plan would wrongly eliminate consumer choice by mandating use of the corn-based fuel additive, which is an option at the pump in Iowa today. |
