Letters to the Editor

Recently, I watched an interview of Senator Hillary Clinton by Bill O'Reilly. Mr. O'Reilly asks Senator Clinton why the House and Senate refused to drill to obtain America's untapped oil deposits. Senator Clinton responded that it would take thirteen years to get the first barrel of oil to the gas pump.

Mr. O'Reilly's response was "IT WOULDN'T IF YOU FOLKS HAD TAKEN THE INITIATIVE THIRTEE N YEARS AGO."

We are just entering the start of a fossil fuel crisis. Hydrogen cars and other innovations are years in the future for research and development to have a functional unit ready for the road. Using corn for ethanol is not proving to be an efficientmethod of augmenting our fuel needs. A complete change in logic would be required to plant and harvest sufficientquantities of sugar cane to help with the fossil fuel shortfall.

Either America commits to oil exploration or we are just beginning to see the repercussions of sitting on our hands. Congress will not act without a groundswell of citizenry besieging them with phone calls, letters, and e-mails.

www.americansolutions.com is a grassroots movement spearheaded by Newt Gingrich. I would encourage everyone to visit this web site and lend support to this essential effort.
