(I use that word loosley) politician has NOT thought of this is beyond me.
IT WILL NOT TAKE 10 TO 20 YEARS TO GET ONLINE WITH ALTERNATIVE FUELS OR INDEED IT WILL TAKE A COUPLE OF YEARS TO DRILL FOR OIL IN THE PLACES WHERE IT IS KNOWN TO BE.
Now to the real reason for the post.
ALTERNATIVE FUEL
1. Mandate the auto industry get the cars built minus the engine etc and have them lined up.
2. At the same time bringing the alternative fuel online.
3. The best of all of them is SUGAR BASED ethanol which none of them seem to have a clue of. There are sugar mill ruins all over in Hawaii, Fl, TX, and any of the tropical states in the lower 48. Start planting the sugar cane and building the refineries putting thousands of employees to work.
If it is done in that way , with which ever ethanol proves best and I as a Chemist say sugar based and we have Brazil as a prime example, then when the ethanol comes online the auto industry simply builds the engine that will accept it and go on from there. WHAM A fleet of vehicles practically at the same time as the ethanol is online.
Drill drill drill now and get that barrel of oil down BUT at the same time get those turbines going, solar panels going, and build DAMS for electricity. As we have seen the Mississippi can use some dams along the length of it and we will kill two birds with one stone. Electricity and keep people from flooding out.
Anybody else got some good ideas. Believe me we have better ones than the government does.
I am not thrilled with nuclear and more to the point don't think it is needed. All of the other will not create waste. THINK OF THAT ENERGY WITHOUT THE WASTE THAT POLUTES US ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
I have contacted different officials and to date nothing is stirring. CONGRESS GET OFF YOUR BUTTS AND DO SOMETHING. And all the rest.
I am not yelling at you folks just fed up to my teeth with their take money for doing nothing ways.

I remember in the 70's when small cars regularly got 40+ per gallon (VW Rabbits, Datsuns, Toyotas, etc.). Why can't it be done now?!?!?! The auto industry must be plotting with Big Oil!
