The Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit will expire at the end of the year–unless Congress decides to renew it. This week, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack urged congressmen to extend the credit. In response, Senior Fellow Marlo Lewis spearheaded a coalition letter signed by several free market groups asking Congress to allow the ethanol tax credit to expire. Also this week, Research Associate Brian McGraw published an op-ed in The Detroit News entitled “Biofuel or Bust: Ethanol Subsidies Should Be Dropped.”
