Couple this idea with 1. Buy American fuel and 2. Use American Oil Resources for Americans and the impact on OPEC becomes even greater. Then we are killing five birds with one stone: 1. Cheaper gas, 2. stop funding people who want to destroy America, 3. return federal control to the people, 4. Create American jobs, and 5. reduce the federal deficit.
"Face it. We’ve been played.
OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) is playing a deadly game with America. Their oil price fixing mechanism is legendary in the unjust world of anti-trust schemes.
The fact is that oil prices in the $15 to $20 a barrel range provide plenty of fair and reasonable profits for any oil exporting nation. Then why are oil prices today over $100 per barrel? OPEC is laughing all the way to the bank.
Here’s the game: OPEC, through the willingness to price fix among its 12 nation partners, gradually ratchets up the price of oil through secretly agreed-to reductions in supply. They don’t care if they’re not producing as much oil. The skyrocketing prices on the oil they do produce are more than enough to provide for their lavish lifestyles and...their generous donations to worldwide Islamic jihadist operations.
As soon as the American public starts to really feel the pain at the pump and begin to lobby their members of Congress to do something about it, oil supplies “magically” increase and the price of gas settles down just enough to prevent the outrage that was about to boil over. And so the cycle goes — by design!
We at ACT! for America are tired of being played in this deadly game of supplying the enemy with the resources to attack us. This is why we are fully supporting the Open Fuel Standard ACT of 2011. We are calling for Members of Congress to enthusiastically co-sponsor this vital legislation.
Why the Open Fuel Standard Act? Imagine you’ve got a flex fuel car — a car that has been retro-fitted to accept at least 2 different kinds of fuel. You notice the price of regular gas just hit $4.10 per gallon. Because you can also run on methanol (or electricity, natural gas, etc), you check the current price for methanol which is approximately $1.65! Now that you’ve got “Fuel Choice,” you fill up with methanol! Methanol can be produced from natural gas and biomass (common trash, plant wastes, landfill materials, etc). Therefore, it’s a potential environmental winner as well.
What happens when tens of millions of consumers start taking advantage of fuel choice and switch to other fuels? OPEC is forced to bring down its prices in order to compete. Game over. The price of oil per barrel would plummet down to its natural market trading range of $10 to $25 per barrel.
How can we be so sure of this? Brazil has already done it — back in the 80’s and it’s still working for them! Do you know that two of the major car suppliers to Brazil’s flex fuel market are GM and Ford? Brazil’s proven success demonstrates that a single nation can employ this strategy successfully as a solitary nation against the forces of worldwide markets.
Why shouldn’t the U.S. and other major oil consuming countries follow suit? The transition costs are minimal when compared to the tremendous savings and security we all will enjoy through fuel choice!
I know some of you are asking: “What about Drill Baby Drill”? We are enthusiastically in favor of developing all strategies to disarm OPEC and their deadly allies. We need to develop all forms of energy, especially our unfathomable supplies of oil, natural gas, coal and nuclear energy technologies. Encouraging fuel choice through the Open Fuel Standard ACT of 2011 will only enhance these and other needed developments.
***Action Items***
1) Invest 5 minutes to support fuel choice for your gas tank and for the nation! Contact for your member of Congress and urge them to be a co-sponsor for H.R. 1687, the Open Fuel Standard Act of 2011. We are starting to pick up real momentum in this process! Please make sure your member of Congress is a co-sponsor. Click Here to complete this simple process.

Do you mind if I copy this email and paste it into a letter to my friends? I want them to read it, and some either can't, or won't exit their comfort zones. (I'm like that depending ... .) I won't do this until I know it's ok. Biene
ReplyDeleteNo problem trailbee. What a loyal visitor you are. I like your idea to send conservative posts to your not-so-conservative friends.
ReplyDeleteI forward mostly to my conservative friends, but I like your idea more. I am going to change my mailing list!
Don't change your mailing list!! God, no! I'm not courageous enough to send it to all my non-conservative friends - just a couple who might not move me into their Spam File. The post is important and should be viewed by as many people as possible. I'm just hoping that I pick the right semi-non-conservatives. :) Talk about waffling, geez!
ReplyDeleteRight now my mailing list is family and conservative friends. I plan to add a few non-conservative friends who I expect will not be offended, and both Conservative and Liberal talk radio and TV hosts.
ReplyDeleteI think your idea is a good way for me to become more efficient with the proliferation of my point of view.
Please do not look to me as model for anything. This is the person who was physically sick when the troll won in 2008, and then spent probably 8 months in a fight or flight mode, too frozen to figure out anything effective and productive! I am only now resuming breathing and taking deep gulps of mountain air. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm learning that I am not alone, and finding my voice, again. Hallelujah!
We can face this takeover attempt not alone, but as WE THE PEOPLE!
