Doyle, Bingaman, Klobuchar Promote Home-Grown Biofuels To Strengthen…
All American Patriots – All American Patriots (press release) – Jun 16, 2007
Jim Doyle; Senator Jeff Bingaman, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources; and Senator Amy Klobuchar today discussed the Senate’s energy legislation that would strengthen the economy, strengthen national security and protect the environment. Representatives from the National Farmers Union, Renewable Fuels Association, National Biodiesel Board and National Corn Growers Association were also on hand to talk about the need to promote biofuels that create jobs and make America more energy independent. Home-grown biofuels can accelerate our transportation sector’s transition to energy sources beyond imported petroleum. In crafting policies to promote economical, feedstock-diverse biofuels production, H. 6 expands and improves upon existing Federal renewable-fuels policies, and addresses infrastructure- and competition-related issues that impact wholesale and retail distribution of biofuels throughout the country. “One of the biggest policy questions facing our country is how to diversify energy supplies for transportation,” Bingaman said… faces serious energy security challenges stemming from our dependence on foreign oil. Clean, home-grown biofuels will play a big role in addressing that problem. Given its potential contribution to our nation’s energy security, it’s easy to see why accelerating a transition to energy sources beyond imported petroleum is a top priority for Senate Democrats. ”Said Klobuchar: “It’s time we start investing in the farmers and the workers of the Midwest instead of the oil cartels of the Mideast. This energy bill moves the country forward by supporting research on ethanol pipelines and including loan guarantees for advanced biofuels facilities. I share the belief that advanced biofuels, including cellulosic ethanol, hold tremendous promise for our nation’s energy security and I will continue to work with this experienced team as well as Chairman Bingaman to reach our nation’s energy security goals.

But that’s what we say about the whole Middle East. If only Bashar al-Assad wasn’t President of Syria (heaven knows what the alternative would be) or if the cracked President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad wasn’t in control of Iran (even if he doesn’t actually know one end of a nuclear missile from the other). If only Lebanon was a home-grown democracy like our own little back-lawn countries – Belgium, for example, or Luxembourg. But no, those pesky Middle Easterners vote for the wrong people, support the wrong people, love the wrong people, don’t behave like us civilised Westerners. So what will we do? Support the reoccupation of Gaza perhaps? Certainly we will not criticise Israel. And we shall go on giving our affection to the kings and princes and unlovely presidents of the Middle East until the whole place blows up in our faces and then we shall say – as we are already saying of the Iraqis – that they don’t deserve our sacrifice and our love. How do we deal with a coup d’état by an elected government?.
