A renewable fuels leader says the ethanol industry would definitely feel the impact if America’s railroads go on strike.
Geoff Cooper with the Renewable Fuels Association says, “It’s a dire situation, to be sure.”
Cooper says 70% of the ethanol produced in the U.S. is shipped by rail and producers have already been dealing with poor rail service. He says the prospect of any further slowdown or cuts to rail service would be “calamitous” for the industry.
