Vaihtoehtoisen poltto-aineiden lisääntyvään käyttöön on olennaisena syynä
mielenkiinnon herääminen myös poliittisessa päätöksen teossa. Olennaista
asiaan liittyen Suomalaisten sillanrakentajien kehittymättä jäänyt osuus
joka kohdennettuna epäolennaisiin tai jopa nakuileviin asiayhteyksiin ei
juurikaan ole johtanut muuhun kuin Suomen Tasavallan perustuslaillistajärjestystä
horjuttaviin tilanteisiin. Julkisuuteen ei toistaiseksi ole ilmaantunut
Hallituksen eroamiseen johtaneita kulissintakaisia tapahtumia muutoin
kuin sopimusluonteisena presidentti-pelinä.
Öljymiesten salaperäiseen eduntavoitteluun osallistuminen on ehkä oman vaurastumisen kannalta todella mielenkiintoista ja - " onhan se Amerikan George tosiaan ihan ihana " . Hyvän käytännön toimenpiteenä voi käydä kaikki mahdolliset tahot joille voi osoittaa tukea vaikka aika järjestyksessä läpi jotta lopputuloksena olisi omaa kannatusta lisäävä laskelmoitu suosio.
Ruotsin-mallin mukaisesti oppien työtä tulisi tehdä. Öljymiestenkin osalta.

Four Senate Republicans and four Democrats proposed a bill to accelerate the use of alternative fuels in the nation's vehicle fleet and wean the United States from foreign oil.

WASHINGTON - Eight senators, including Minnesota Republican Norm Coleman, proposed a bill Wednesday to push the use of alternate fuels in the nation's vehicle fleet and save 2.5 million barrels of oil a day by 2016.
The bipartisan legislation would not raise minimum fuel economy standards, which have gone unaltered for a quarter century, but would set targets for automakers to improve fuel efficiency by 50 percent over the next decade.
Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., who led the effort, pointed to a new International Energy Agency projection that global oil demand will rise by 50 percent by the year 2030. "Failure to act, we fear, will make America like a pitiful giant," he said at a news conference, likening the United States to the fictional Gulliver surrounded by tiny Lilliputians.
Lieberman said America is giving a handful of small oil-producing nations, "by our consumption patterns, the ropes and helping them tie us down."
The bill would direct the White House Office of Management and Budget to publish and carry out a plan to save 5.25 million barrels of oil daily by 2016, 7 million barrels by 2026 and 10 million barrels by 2031, using government authorities and policies. It would set targets for automakers to produce flexible fuel vehicles that can run on corn- or biomass-based ethanol, gas-and-electric hybrids, hydrogen fuel-cell or other innovative vehicles that get 75 percent more average fleet fuel economy. The automakers would be asked to raise fuel efficiency by 10 percent a year from 2012 through 2016.
The bill also directs the Energy secretary to issue regulations requiring state and federal vehicle fleets, by 2016, to reduce oil consumption 30 percent below 1999 levels.
It would offer retooling tax credits to manufacturers and suppliers of advanced diesel engines and hybrids, and would lift a cap on recently approved tax credits for consumers who buy those vehicles. The current credit goes to the first 60,000 buyers of vehicles from each automaker.
In addition, the bill would increase an ethanol infrastructure tax credit to 50 percent and expand to $200 million over five years incentives for production of ethanol from agricultural waste.
Coleman noted that 60 percent of new cars in Brazil are now flexible fuel vehicles that can run on 100 percent ethanol.
He said he owned his new Ford Explorer for about six months before he learned that it has a flexible fuel engine. "It only costs about $100" for the sensor that provides the flexibility, he said.
On a related matter, Coleman said his Senate Permanent Investigations subcommittee will investigate whether price manipulation is behind a recent surge in natural gas prices.
