Among other poll results, 91 percent of Americans say they feel the country is facing an energy crisis and 53 percent believe we should diversify our energy supply by utilizing alternative energy sources like ethanol.

“These results clearly reflect the growing enthusiasm for ethanol and other biofuels we have seen in the past year,” said Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) President Bob Dinneen. “From the farmer in the field to the business owner on Main Street to consumer at the pump, Americans are realizing that we need to do something different when it comes to meeting our energy needs.
