The U.S. is being forced to continue Enslavement to the same energy con-

We can produce more than we need in fuel requirements ;wether "BIO" or
"Syn" fuel in renewable resources.(From corn/soybeans/sugarcane OR..OR..
Synthetic from COAL [with the only by product being CO2 , which would be
sold to the oil producers to pressurize the old wells to increase production]

What's left of the AMERICAN farmers would love the opportunity to grow
renewable energy .

Jack or Jill Abromoff) Elected and Lobbiests,The oil consortium who seeks
to maintain status quo,The IDIOTS at FORD and G.M. who refuse to give
us SAFE fuel efficient vehicles{the jackasses didn't learn from V.W. in the
'60s nor the Japanese EVER SINCE.}
