I cannot figure out why we do not promote this as a national strategy. After all, we are so tied up in Iraq and the mid-east for the foreseeable future. We need to have our own energy sources. So why can't Bush see this. We can only squeeze a few more years of oil out of our own reserves. E85 would be one of the steps in the right direction.

Four years of debate is enough. I urge Congress to pass legislation that makes America more secure and less dependent on foreign energy. http://www.detnews.com/2005/politics/0502/06/pols-78787.htm Larry Back to top pwestre Joined: 03 Sep 2005 Posts: 7 Location: MN Posted: Thu Sep 08, 2005 11:47 pm    Post subject: The problem is that he is so beholden to the texas oil barons that he is unable to bring forward a real energy policy that is not extraction based.
