"The Emancipation of America" from imported oil

                                                The goal of my administration on an alternative fuel will be to effect the complete withdrawal of America from its dependency on foreign oil. By doing so, we will be lifting a huge burden off the shoulders of America. Never again will America be saddled with having to deal with a dictator or despot because of our need for oil. Never again will America be accused of going into combat "because of oil." Being free from oil dependency will allow America to make future international decisions based on "right" rather than "need." Then as our dependency on foreign oil imports wane so will the cost at the pump  

       "The Emancipation of America" from its dependency on foreign oil will be obtained through the production and distribution of an alternative fuel be that ETHANOL, HYDROGEN, ELECTRIC  or other. If you are not knowledgeable about alternative fuels then click on this link, http://www.eere.energy.gov/afdc/ and begin learning about alternative fuels.

           Cellulosic biomass, dubbed the most abundant material on earth is the feed stock of one form of ethanol.  Examples of feed stock for cellulosic ethanol include corn stover, cereal straws, sugarcane, bagasse, sawdust, paper pulp, small diameter trees, and dedicated energy crops such as switchgrass. The widespread availability of cellulosic biomass will allow plants to be built near the feed stock sources which mean that the plants can be built literally on any site thus reducing the need for pipelines and transportation delivery cost.

Cellulosic biomass will also let all Americans participate in the boom that will follow the development of the alternative fuel. For instance switchgrass could be grown in almost any climate with very little care and attention. It requires only land. No mineral rights and contingencies or great exploration and drilling expenses will be required. Anyone can grow switchgrass and then sell it to an ethanol producer.  Switchgrass is planted once and cut once a year with little handling during that year. Dr. David Bransby, of Auburn University has been able to produce 1150 gallons of cellulosic ethanol from one acre of switchgrass. The Building of plants wherever we want to all across this great land creating billions of gallons of ethanol will buy back the freedom of America from foreign oil producing countries.

     Higher gasoline prices are coming at us. In the August-21-06 “USA Today” there was an article on the possibility of a barrel of oil hitting $100.00.  The price of a barrel of oil is at $96.00+ today. Help me put a stop to this insanity. Your donation to my campaign of your time, talent and treasure will help me get elected and when elected my plan to implement our alternative fuel plan will be started without delay.

This is a plan that will change the way America fuels its economy. Cheap transportation fuel is what propelled the growth of America. The freedom to jump in the car and just go is a thing of the past if we do not do this.

      Once an alternative fuel begins to flow a small portion of the sales price will be used to create a fund that will be distributed to Colleges and Universities, an not handled by a government bureaucracy, for the research and development in the manufacturing and use of alternative fuels in an effort to make its use a more economical and efficient product..

         Your first pay back for your donation will be the warm fuzzy feeling from knowing that never again will America be held hostage to foreign oil imports. Second, as the production and use of alternative fuels spreads, the air that you and I breathe will become cleaner and cleaner. Lastly, I believe we can produce a more economical transportation fuel than is currently being produced which will mean that you feel the weight of more money in your pockets.

     "In the U.S. we depend on our transportation systems to move food, people, and virtually everything produced or sold within our borders. Over 97 percent of our transportation system relies on oil, consuming two-thirds of all the oil we use. This reliance on oil makes our economy vulnerable to market disruptions and price shocks and adds $200 billion a year to our trade deficit. It also poses a security threat because most of the world's oil is located in unfriendly and unstable parts of the world. Replacing oil with renewable fuels will reduce these risks and ensure long-term availability of fuels to meet U.S. energy needs. Currently the U.S. imports nearly 57 percent of its oil, and imports could reach 70 percent by 2025 predicts the Energy Information Administration. Two-thirds of the entire world’s oil is located in the Middle East (vs. just 2% in the U.S.). This dependence puts us in a very vulnerable position with countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran.

     On the international level, the rapid growth of countries such as India and China will increase demand and competition for oil. New resources are not being brought into the marketplace quickly enough to meet this growing demand. Geopolitical and macroeconomic stability are at stake as more countries become increasingly dependent on oil in a few regions. The war in Iraq and the looming Iran issue can pose threats to supplies, affect world oil prices, and act as flashpoints for larger conflicts over energy. As a result, the U.S. is vulnerable to price increases and supply disruptions that may result from political instability or terrorism. 

     A readily available ethanol source will be insulated from international market uncertainty and will not rely on lengthy supply chains or unstable producing nations. By relying more on ethanol produced domestically is a win-win situation for the U.S."

      An alternative fuel will return to you money in ways other than at the pump. As the uses of oil plummets so will its wide spread price affects on most everything you use in your day to day life. Won’t you join me in “The Emancipation of America” from the slavery of imported oil? All you have to do to be a part of this historic action is to send me to Washington as your next president.

    There are forces out there that will want to throw up road blocks to try and thwart my election. I will not only need your financial support but I will need you and your talents to help elect me. Go now to my website, www.tommillican.com and sign up to help liberate America from those forces that will want to stop this unaffiliated candidate from becoming your next president.

      One last thought. When we have “Emancipated America” from foreign oil imports those nations that use their profits from oil to fund terrorism activities will no longer have the where with all to continue funding the killing of innocent people and the development of “Weapons of Mass Destruction.”  So, don't miss out on your chance to be a part of this contemporary historic election. Your donation of your time, talent and treasure will help liberate America and your pocket books from foreign oil imports.
