Congresswoman Halvorson believes that the agriculture industry shows great promise for its contributions to our nation's energy supply through ethanol, biodiesel and other alternative fuels. These products burn cleaner, reduce American dependence on foreign oil, and are produced right here in the United States. Through her role as co-chair of the New Democrat Coalition's Energy Task Force, Congresswoman Halvorson continues to advocate for agriculture's contributions to a renewable energy policy for America that will reduce our reliance on foreign oil and improve our environment.
