Created by P.B. on January 19, 2013

That the Administration use its considerable influence to educate the electorate about the power that the fossil fuel industries exert upon the Congress to continue unnecessary subsidies to the oil, gas and coal producers.

That the Administration use its considerable influence to educate the electorate of the benefits that would spring from subsidies to promote the development of alternative and renewal energy sources and create jobs in the US. This would include wind, solar, geothermal, tidal and anything else smart people can dream up.

That the Administration should immediately act to terminate subsidies to the corn/ethanol industries and pressure Congress to repeal the requirement for ethanol in gasoline. The drought of the past summer was just a harbinger of what is to come.
