Leveling the road for biofuels - NCGA's new drive

Have you ever thought of cars that are environmentally friendly? The National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) is trying to turn that dream into reality. Their goal? To ensure fuels like ethanol aren't left in the rearview mirror. 

The road guardians, aka the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, pitched an idea that cars guzzle less fuel. But there's a twist, this could mean less room for biofuels on our roads. 

Tom Haag, the captain at NCGA, warns that such a move might make car makers skip eco-friendly options like corn ethanol. And that's a bummer because biofuels are superheroes in battling pollution and can be pocket-friendly too. 

Haag shares, "Biofuels have a big role in a cleaner Earth."
