Pumping For Ethanol

Senator Sam Brownback of

Kansas was out filling up cars with fuel early Monday morning at the grand

opening of a new ethanol blender pump station in Colwich that was held in

conjunction with the announcement of a new initiative in

Kansas that will help fuel

station retailers obtain funding and the equipment needed to sell higher blends

of ethanol. The new initiative introduced by the

Ethanol Promotion and Information Council(EPIC),

ICMand the

Kansas Corn Commission aims to install a minimum of 100 blender pumps around

the state over the next year.

Brownback also helped ICM

president Dave Vander Griend cut the ribbon for TJ Convenience store's new

blender pumps, which offer ethanol in four different flavors - E10, E20, E30 and

E85. The higher blends can only legally be used in flex-fuel vehicles.

Back in Washington, the

senator is working on legislation that would increase the number of flex-fuel

vehicles that can use those higher blends with the

Open Fuel Standard Act, which he introduced last month along with Senators

Salazar of Colorado and Lieberman of Connecticut. The act would require half of

new automobiles to be flex-fuel by 2012, and 80 percent by 2015.
