Baldwin Introduces Year-Round E15 Bill to Cut Costs at the Pump, Support Wisconsin Farmers

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and a bipartisan group of her colleagues introduced the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act of 2025. The legislation would allow the year-round, nationwide sale of E15 which will help lower costs at the pump and support Wisconsin agriculture.

“Homegrown biofuels cut costs at the pump for Wisconsin families while supporting our farmers and increasing our energy independence from foreign oil,” said Senator Baldwin. “I am proud to work with my Democratic and Republican colleagues to ensure cleaner E15 fuel is available year-round, support our agricultural communities, and move our Made in Wisconsin economy forward.”

Senator Baldwin has long championed increasing the use of biofuels to reduce prices at the pump and support Wisconsin’s farmers, producers, and rural communities. In 2023 and 2024, Senator Baldwin successfully pushed the Biden administration to allow E15 fuel to be sold during the summer months.

The bill is led by Senator Deb Fischer (R-NE) and also co-sponsored by Senators Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), John Thune (R-SD), Pete Ricketts (R-NE), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Jerry Moran (R-KS), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Roger Marshall (R-KS), Joni Ernst (R-IA), Tina Smith (D-MN), and Mike Rounds (R-SD).

The legislation is endorsed by American Petroleum Institute, Renewable Fuels Association, Growth Energy, National Corn Growers Association, National Farmer Union, and National Association of Convenience Stores.
