ICYMI: Dr. Rand Paul Introduces Bill to Unleash Free Market Solutions in the Agriculture, Energy, and Automotive Sectors
Washington, D.C. – Last week, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) introduced the Fuel Choice and Deregulation Act of 2025. This legislation breaks down burdensome federal mandates and empowers American consumers—not Washington bureaucrats—to drive the future of energy and transportation, save taxpayer dollars, and reduce our deficit.
“For decades, unelected regulators in Washington have distorted energy and automotive markets by picking winners and losers—driving up costs, stifling competition, and burdening consumers,” said Dr. Paul. “The Fuel Choice and Deregulation Act restores market freedom by removing arbitrary barriers to innovation, expanding consumer access to affordable fuel options, and encouraging domestic energy production. It’s a commonsense step toward lowering energy costs, reducing regulatory bloat, and ending our dependence on foreign oil.”
Key Provisions of the Fuel Choice and Deregulation Act of 2025:
- Consumer Freedom – Lifts restrictions that prevent older vehicles from using alternative fuels, expanding fuel options for millions of Americans.
- Lower Fuel Costs – Increases availability of biofuels and allows higher ethanol blends to create a more competitive fuel market and drive down fuel costs.
- Support for Rural America – Eliminates restrictions on biomass fuel production, opening new markets for U.S. farmers.
- Reduced Regulatory Burdens – Automakers producing fuel-flexible vehicles will be considered compliant with EPA regulations, lowering compliance costs, and encouraging investments in clean energy technologies.
This legislation is a win for the free market, a win for innovation, and a win for the American consumer. It’s time we get Washington out of the way and let American ingenuity lead.
