The Minnesota Corn Growers Association showcased a Ford Escape flex fuel plug-in hybrid electric vehicle at Farmfest. Renewable Fuels Association Vice President of Industry Relations Robert White said this car highlights the option to use electric or liquid fuel. “We’re having a fuel savings and drastic reduction in emissions that in many cases are beating electric vehicles on the roads today.” The vehicle can help attain emission reduction goals while remaining affordable. “Only 40 percent of Americans have garages and the public infrastructure is not there. If the goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we can still do it with liquid fuels and we can do it today.” Listen to the full conversation with Robert White here.
