I wanted to thank you for your time last week to meet with Susie, Charles and me. We covered a lot of ground, and I hope that we will regularly be in touch. More immediately, I wanted to check in on availability of the Secretary speaking at the National Clean Energy Week Policy Makers Symposium at the National Press Club on Wednesday, September 26. You had indicated that the Secretary was confirmed, although the office asked that we hold off promoting until after Labor Day, and that we still needed to find a time slot. Currently, we have the Secretary as the morning kickoff speaker at 8:05AM, subject to your confirmation. Would you please let me know if that time is convenient? I assume we are ok to mention his participation in the symposium now that we are after Labor Day but would appreciate a nod on that, too!

Please find attached the symposium agenda. Second, an executive (TBD) from Deepwater Wind is a possible person to introduce the Secretary. I wanted to check in with you on that. Attendee list is at 80 right now (expecting 250+) so we can plan to send to you on Friday by noon if that makes sense. Please let me know.

Nearly 3 out of every 4 vehicles on the road today are not designed for E15 gasoline, and a number of automakers have even said that using E15 could void car warranties. Plus, ethanol has less energy than gasoline, forcing drivers to fill up more often when using higher ethanol blends. consumers at least some relief. But the Trump administration is considering a waiver to facilitate E15 sales year-round, exposing drivers - plus owners of boats, motorcycles, lawnmowers and power equipment most compatible with zero-ethanol fuel - to even more risk. It's a step in the wrong direction for federal ethanol policy. Washington should be focused on protecting consumers and modernizing outdated regulations under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), which requires increasing amounts of ethanol in the nation's fuel supply, regardless of market demand. RFS flaws are so wide-ranging that the Washington Times recently devoted several pages to chronicling the policy's consequences - from environmental concerns to increased food prices, elevated costs for farmers and ranchers to higher fuel prices for families. It says a lot that the special report -- "Good Intentions Gone Wrong: Can Congress Admit A Mistake?" - was able to compile 15 separate commentaries without even worrying about repetition. Contributors included the National Wildlife Federation, National Council of Chain Restaurants, National Chicken Council, National Black Chamber of Commerce, National Taxpayers Union - and lawmakers from both parties. That last point is key. There is bipartisan support for RFS reform. Instead of pushing E15 ethanol, policymakers should fix the outdated RFS once and for all. Sincerely, Mike Sommers President & CEO API Storm Readiness in the Energy Sector As impacts from Hurricane Florence continue, learn more about how America's natural gas and oil industry prepares year-round to be as ready as possible for major weather events: to protect against storms' direct impacts, restore operations when it is safe and to help minimize supply disruptions.
