Today in Biofuels Opinion: “Corn ethanol’s been blamed for practically every problem under the sun. What’s next? Summer colds? Computer viruses? Bad hair days?”
Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska: “I’ll admit, corn-based ethanol’s not perfect, but it’s been blamed for practically every problem under the sun. What’s next? Summer colds? Computer viruses? Bad hair days?”
T. Boone Pickens: “I enjoyed the opportunity to meet Senator Obama and discuss an issue that is America’s top priority, which is ending our dependence on foreign oil that today is approaching 70 percent of our imports and is costing us $700 billion a year. I assured Senator Obama that this is a non-partisan campaign and that I will do everything in my power to work together with leaders who are willing to solve our immense energy problems which are ruining our economy and threatening our national security. As I did with Senator McCain on Friday, I stressed the urgency of the situation and the need to end the largest transfer of wealth in human history. I told him that any credible domestic energy policy must reduce our dependence on foreign oil by at least 30% in the next 10 years.”
