Dear Mr. Adams,
    Your comments are interesting and correct to a point, lacking a specific 
recommendaton, it is assumed the major point you offer is that simply 
conserving energy will not provide the energy needed to maintain our standard 
of living. Increasing domestic oil production will help for several very 
important reasons, to increase the employment in this industry, to reduce the 
exportation of our money to the heathen controlled oil supplies which has a 
serious drain on the resources and standard of living of the United States. 
    Lets look at reality not just knee jerk radical responses. South Africa 
produces all of it's oil from coal. Our technology is much better than the 
technology which they use and the DOE and many oil or coal industries have 
spent billions on this technology. Do we want to look like idiots in the 
World Opinion poll for letting a small country like South Africa make us look 
like fools for not using the technology which we have and the vast resources 
which we are sitting on? Your choice. Do you want us to live in caves like 
Osama Bin Laden? If we continue to export our dollars overseas, we will 
whether or not they continue to bomb us. The cost is not billions, but 
trillions of dollars to the economy and the caves will look good to the 
middle class Americans.
    For about the same amount of money which we are spending to rebuild NYC 
or whatever has been put out for this recent debacle, we can have a synthetic 
fuels industry operated on coal, garbage or other low cost sources. The 
possible environmental impact is minimal and the fuels produced would have no 
sulfur or other contaminants present in current forms of fuels. The catalysts 
won't tolerate it. 
    If the United States were to say that it was mandating a 25% reduction in 
imported oil in 5 years, the Mideast and the radicals would act like they 
just got hit with a nuclear bomb. We would get what we want without firing a 
shot. Funding the radicals to blow us up is insane when we have the 
capability to remove their fundamental tool, money. 
    My communications with the Mideast shows that they are scared to death of 
our threats and paying a combination of lip service and actual actions to 
prevent our descimating their civilizations. 
    Until the political will is present to implement the technology and cut 
off our dependency, we are subject to their threats, and Americans do not 
like working under fear, it is not our nature and we should not have to put 
up with it. If this is part of your recipe, get a new country.
