Open Season On OPEC

I think everyone's sick and tired of hearing the MSNM go on and on about the price of oil and gasoline, right?

There are near-term alternatives that can be put into play now. It is called Flex Fuel. The action is to have all cars and trucks the currently burn gasoline to covert over to burn Flex Fuel. Flex Fuel is a blend of gasoline, ethanol, or methanol.

The most notable proponent of this idea is Richard Zubrin. He has written a book called "Energy Victory." He has also written an excellent article on the subject and it is published at The New Atlantis. Read it by clicking this link:

This victory is achieved by giving consumers choice and thus help to lower the price of oil and gasoline world-wide by breaking the OPEC monopoly. If Brazil can become energy independent, so can the USA. We need to do this while the technology for electric cars and trucks is being developed and implemented. We don't have time to wait. We have to act NOW!

Let's all call our Congressional Representatives and Senators and let them know that this needs leadership and support.
