The State of Nebraska, led by Coalition Chairman and Governor Mike Johanns, has begun a statewide consumer education campaign that seeks to increase the use of ethanol-blended fuels. The theme of the campaign, "Let's Get With it, Nebraska! E-10 Unleaded with Ethanol," encourages Nebraskans to choose ethanol at the pump. "This campaign theme challenges all Nebraskans to rally around a homegrown product that is good for the Nebraska economy, good for Nebraska agriculture, good for Nebraska drivers, good for the environment and good for the nation," Governor Johanns said.

"People simply haven't understood the facts regarding the outstanding benefits of this gasoline choice," said Lee Klein, a Battle Creek, Nebraska corn producer and president of the National Corn Growers Association. Ethanol is a high-octane, clean-burning fuel made from corn and other renewable resources. "Nebraska can take the lead in showing the rest of the nation that this clean air, renewable fuel makes sense for America."
