| 6 | Sean McDonald | I feel that we live in the greatest and most innovative country in this world. It is time we find a viable alternative to foreign oil. If current trends continue, it is only a matter of time before being able to drive an automoible is a privilege only the extreme wealthy in this country can afford. It is imperative that we increase funding and research into alternative fuel sources. |

| 11 | Anonymous | you miss the real point...can we really win the long war while hooked on crack oil? This is a national security issue...the answer to the above is no. Kevin |

| 16 | Nathan Mullie | I think that hydrogen wud be a great start and the man shud look into it cuz WATER IS FREE!!! |
| 17 | Maria H. McGowan | Ther is no sense in what we do to our environment and the lenghths that we go to in order to obtain fuel from foreign countries. We are sitting on a virtual payload or resources that are clean, efficent and non-evasive to the earth. Lets make a change for the future. |

| 19 | Michael Gordon Flanagan | Alternative energy must be taken more seriouslly by the US government, or we will eventually run out of ways to power out world! |
| 20 | Sarah Pritchett | |
| 21 | Cary Lichtman | There is no excuse for our government's near complete disregard for alternative energy development. Especially in the light of Homeland Security initiatives and investments enacted in recent times. Our Energy Security is also our Economic Security and our strength and security as a nation is based mainly on our economy. Therefore this is a "no-brainer"! |

| 34 | Frank James | While we are developing alternate fuel we need to be using the oil we have available on tap. We have oil all over this contry beside the oil in Alaska. Its time to Knock the environmentalist off the throne and tell congress to release our oil. |
| 35 | Daniel Schiff | When future generations find themselves in a world increasingly uninhabitable, they will look back at the leaders of today and ask how we could have been so shortsighted and self-absorbed. That future may not be so far away. |

Flexible Fuel Plug-in Hybrids (PHEVs)
1. Flexible fuel PHEVs can eliminate gasoline use in the commute of tens of millions of Americans.
2. The technology is available now.
3. Infrastructure already exists to supply plug-ins with electric fuel, from the power plant to electric sockets at homes and businesses.
4. Plug-in technology can be combined with already existing flexible fuel technology to reduce the use of gasoline even more dramatically.
5. Flexible fuel PHEVs can lead to significant reductions in greenhouse gases and smog-producing air pollutants.
6. Flexible fuel PHEVs can enhance national security by cutting dependence on imported oil.
7. Flexible fuel PHEVs will bring savings on fuel costs to individuals and businesses.
8. Flexible fuel PHEVs are good for American agriculture. (The Plug-In Partners Campaign is endorsed by the American Corn Growers Association and the Soybean Producers of America).
9. Consumers can fuel their cars at home and drastically reduce the number of trips to the gas station.
10. Flexible fuel PHEVs would help preserve jobs in the American automobile industry if American manufacturers began producing plug-in hybrids.
Top 10 Reasons Why the United States
Needs to Reduce Dependence on Oil
1. The U.S. is facing a perfect storm of rising fuel costs, escalating dependence on foreign oil, and increasing greenhouse gases and other air pollution.
2. Oil is a finite resource.
3. The U.S. holds only about 2% of the world’s oil reserves, yet accounts for 25% of world consumption.
4. The U.S. must import more than 60% of our oil.
5. Dependence on foreign oil is a national security issue because we are dependent for oil on unstable countries and/or countries hostile to the United States.
6. Two-thirds of all U.S. oil use is consumed by cars, trucks and buses; meaning reduction in oil must concentrate on the transportation sector.
7. There is a growing concensus that climate change and the need to reduce greenhouse gases demand dramatic action.
8. Oil use is a major contributor to greenhouse gases; for example, it accounts for about 40% of all U.S. CO2 emissions.
9. The cost of oil, and thus gasoline, has risen dramatically in recent years, directly affecting the price of gasoline for motorists and businesses.
10. Increasing global demand for oil— especially by China and India— means long term rising costs are likely.

Why the Battery electric vehicles or BEVs are economical, environmentally friendly, and maintenance is free VS the greasy old gasoline, hydrogen, ethanol, or any diesel combustion engine? Because there is NO gas, motor oil, antifreeze, spark plugs, air filters, hoses, carburetors, radiators, water pumps, gas pumps “literally” makes it environmentally friendly and economical but it also makes big oil and automobile companies seem like the enemy when in reality they can contribute and keep their dignity at the same time after all they eat, drink, and live on this planet with the rest of us. |

| 49 | Benjamin Cranefield | Glad you brought this up; we need to do something in the energy department. I spent my entire career working in an oil refinery. We had so much trouble getting permits just to upgrade a plant. The chances of getting a permit to build a new refinery was almost impossible. We have China drilling off the Florida coast and the possibilities of leaks is high, yet the democrats will not let us drill in Alaska whre we have a proven record of not poluting the environment. |
