"Ethanol Campaign Takes On Detractors," The Wall Street Journal
November 05, 2007
With the ethanol industry facing growing criticism, a new industry group plans a splashy ad campaign that will appear in popular Capitol Hill publications. The group, Renewable Fuels Now, brings together existing agriculture and ethanol groups, firing what it calls an opening salvo at a time when the industry is under siege from groups accusing the corn-based biofuel of perpetrating everything from environmental ruin to "crimes against humanity" for contributing to world hunger. The Renewable Fuels Now initiative, working with Manning Selvage & Lee, includes groups such as the Renewable Fuels Association and the National Corn Growers Association.
