In a recent report the National Resources Defense Council reports that "the 10 states doing the least to reduce their oil dependence are Wyoming, West
Virginia, Mississippi, South Dakota, *Nebraska*, New Hampshire, Kentucky, Alabama,
Texas, and Ohio."
This is shameful.
How long do you suppose we should wait before we start taking *meaningful* action? Ethanol is nice, but without dramatically cutting our fuel consumption it won't matter in the least.
It is imperative that we consume less. That means we can't focus on solutions that 'create jobs' and stimulate the economy. It is the economy, our consumption, that is the problem. Success is not increased ethanol production, but reduced gasoline and coal and natural gas consumption.
Again, only reducing consumption matters, not increasing ethanol production.
*Help us cut our fuel consumption!*
