Senator John Kyl says ethanol mandates as well as bad tax and regulatory policies are to blame for the exorbitant fuel prices hammering American families.
The American Automobile Association reports the price of gasoline has hit a nationwide record high and that many Americans are wondering what Congress is doing to bring the cost of energy down. On Friday, Senate Republicans held an energy forum that featured panelists from Shell Oil, the National Mining Association, and the Nuclear Energy Institute.
Speaking at the forum, Arizona Senator John Kyl (R-Arizona) said Congress has failed to appreciate the cause-and-effect relationship between too many actions.
"There is a cause-and-effect relationship between the ethanol mandates and the rising cost of food and fuel,".
