Federal law is going ordsprog

Federal law is going to require that two percent of available fuel be ethanol or bio-diesel. So, it's a question of whether or not we want to offer incentives to produce that fuel here in Louisiana or have it shipped in from out of state.

Every single automobile on the road today is ethanol-capable. All vehicles can operate on a 10 percent blend of ethanol with gasoline, and Flexible Fuel Vehicles can use E85, an alternative fuel containing 85 percent ethanol.

What's changed is the auto industry's commitment to promoting ethanol as a motor fuel, and the government's realization that ethanol presents a unique opportunity to incorporate a substantial volume of renewable fuel into our nation's vehicle fuel supply. Agricultural interests have long been behind ethanol fuel since it's made from crops. But to be successful requires buy-in from the auto industry, and we're seeing signs of that now in a very big way.

[The company said it would offer 280,000 flex-fuel vehicles that run on gas or ethanol next year, including, for the first time, a version of its Ford F-150 pickup truck.] With fewer than 400 ethanol stations in the entire country, it will be important for them to follow through on plans to promote ethanol sales, ... Otherwise, their increased flexible-fuel vehicle sales will actually exacerbate our oil dependence.

I realize the frustration of filling up with $2.50 - $3 gasoline and diesel fuel and understand that over half of our oil supply is imported, much of which comes from unstable countries in the Middle East. Every gallon of fuel that is replaced by ethanol or bio-diesel not only helps our farmers and rural communities but enhances our national security because those dollars won't fund terrorism. Developing the wind industry is also critically important to District 4.

Converting to fuel ethanol will not require a big change in the economy. We are already ethanol ready. If ethanol were available on the supply side, the demand is there.

Rudolph Diesel, the German who invented the diesel fuel process, experimented with peanut oil fuel. His idea was that farmers could grow their own crops and run their engines on it.

With 1.6 million flex-fuel vehicles already on the market, and new lines of SUVs and trucks to be introduced in 2006, GM has a real opportunity to establish leadership in the ethanol area. Ford is not far behind, with its own aggressive ethanol programs. Ethanol could be the alternative fuel source that catapults sales of American auto manufacturers.

Ethanol-blended fuel is available at thousands and thousands of America's gas stations, literally from coast to coast. E85, the alternative fuel that is 85 percent ethanol, is available at a smaller number of stations and that figure is growing very quickly.

The old blend of fuel we cannot mix with the ethanol. So at the stations, we have to run our volume all the way down as low as we can before we get a new delivery of the blended fuel with ethanol.

It's kind of hard to talk about this with all of the human suffering going on, but it's a reality, ... I've heard as much as 25 percent of fuel comes through ports and refineries in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, so this is going to have an impact on fuel.

By adding billions of gallons of motor fuel to the U.S. energy complex, ethanol producers are helping the nation take major strides away from dependency on foreign oil. Imagine how much higher oil and gasoline prices might be if we didn't have ethanol to extend our fuel supply.

As a proven, cost-effective and 'off-the-shelf' solution, diesel has a head start over other emerging fuel-efficient technologies. With energy prices at elevated levels and new regulatory pressure to improve light-truck fuel efficiency, a range of fuel-efficient alternatives to the conventional gasoline engine will be required. The United States and Canada are markets with enormous potential for diesel light-vehicle sales.

Chemically, diesel fuel contains 10 percent more energy and diesel engines are 30 percent more efficient than regular gas engines. His genuine enthusiasm for life and his positive outlook contributed to his infectious pe𝗑iness.
