JEANNE SHAHEEN RELEASES PLAN TO ADDRESS RISING FOOD PRICES, INVEST IN ALTERNATIVE FUELS WITHOUT IMPACTING GLOBAL FOOD SUPPLY

Shaheen proposes measures to protect market from price manipulation, shift tax incentives from corn-based ethanol to wood-based ethanol 

(Manchester, NH) – As food prices continue to climb, former Governor and current US Senate candidate Jeanne Shaheen today released several proposals to protect the market from food and oil price manipulation and shift tax incentives for corn-based ethanol to wood-based ethanol.  Shaheen believes we should invest in the expansion of cellulosic wood-based ethanol, which won't impact the global food supply and can be generated from resources right here in New Hampshire.
