Opinion

The Pinke Post

Summer 2020 provided an opportunity for Katie Pinke's daughters, Anika and Elizabeth Pinke, to garden on their own. Rather than fill the summer of 2021 with activities and camps they missed last summer, she working to carve out more open days and weekends for simple routines they enjoyed when they stayed home more in 2020.

Policy

The Renewable Fuel Standard in the 1990s helped create the market for corn ethanol as an oxygenate for petroleum fuels, leading to ethanol plant expansion including Tharaldson Ethanol at Casselton, N.D., in 2008. Former U.S. Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., says now — in the President Joe Biden administration — it’s the time to push for regulations that could increase ethanol to 30% blends, up from the 10% level.
