Growth Energy welcomed the words of a top General Motors executive who said that the United States must substantially build out the infrastructure to deliver ethanol to consumers. Growth Energy's position is that increasing the number of blender pumps would give drivers a choice of mid- and high-level ethanol blends in more locations across the country.
"What we've heard from General Motors is what we've been saying at Growth Energy since we were created 18 months ago — if we're going to reduce emissions, clean the air, and put Americans to work in green-energy jobs, we need to give American families a choice of low-emission fuel at their filling stations. At Growth Energy, we believe that means more blender pumps," said Tom Buis, CEO of Growth Energy. "Ethanol is a low-carbon fuel that produces 59 percent fewer green house gas emissions than gasoline and it is home-grown. Every blender pump we install at a gas station makes our country more energy independent and gives consumers a choice, all while creating jobs in the U.S. and greening our environment."
