First on me, I am not
a kook, and am a dedicated Republican and the only New Yorker who was on
the Mighty Texas Force in 2003, helped turn Ohio and went to the boots ball,
as well as Tex/AZ ball and Task Force Ball.
If Rudy won in stead of McCain I would be sending this email to him.
On the current fuel situation, I agree that we have to go with Bio Fuel
since the Dems will not let us open Alaska or build Refinaries, and in any
case even if we could would take ten years.
The current use of corn and other crops for Bio Fuel is causing farm prices
to go up and adding to the problem. The solution ot this is so simple that
I do not know why you or the President or the Secy of Agr. did not come forth
unless worried by a lobbyist. We currently give billions to non farmers
to not grow crops. It is time to stop giving this money away and have this
land cultivated into corn, soy and other crops that will be turned to bio
fuels. This would stop the shortage of these products and give us at the
same time the new raw materials for bio petro.
The money that we have been paying to not grow crops can be used for seed
to give to the persons who have been getting rich by not growing crops.
This hand out will only be for the first crop. This is a win win situation.
If they do not want to grow crops on their land, and use it for something
else, they should be reminded that they were getting paid to not grow for
decades and could have saved the tax payers money by using this land years
ago for other projects and not putting in crops now will not look to good
on their records.
Further if they want to sell the land rather then produce crops, get the
oil companies such as Exxon to buy the land and to start growing the crops
and getting into the bio fuel business and please the stock holders as well
as their opponents.
