Fuel Prices, Fertilizer Costs, and the Methanol Future with Kevin Keeney
Kevin Keeney of Nebraska joins Trent Loos on Rural Route to break down rising diesel, gasoline, and nitrogen fertilizer prices. Kevin explains how strict EPA regulations and refinery closures, including major losses in California, have squeezed the nation's fuel supply. The conversation turns to methanol as a clean fuel alternative, with China's methanol economy as a model and ethanol plants poised to benefit from 45Z and 45Q tax credits. Trent and Kevin also debate E15 versus E30 and E85 blends, diesel tax moves by Governors Jim Pillen and Greg Abbott, biodiesel, and on-farm fuel production for greater American energy independence.
