Roskam: Alternative Fuels Needed for Airlines

Congressman Peter Roskam discusses his solutions to our energy needs, and the disappointing lack of bipartisan efforts to bring relief to American families. Congressman Roskam offered an amendment to HR 6063, the NASA Authorization Act, that would have struck from the bill plans for a Deep Space Climate Observatory and instead would have created a research and development initiative for an alternative fuel for commercial aviation. The amendment directed the initiative to consider the need to reduce our reliance on foreign sources of energy, provide stability to the airline industry, and reduce emissions. This effort would have brought energy relief to US consumers and businesses by harnessing American innovation and directing it toward energy solutions for the aviation industry.

If only the democrats had the same drive and determination as this man the country would be off foreign oil in no time.

Kill big oil first than we can move on to alternatives. Alternatives are already out there, they and their patents are bought and suppressed by big oil.

Also, congressional members in both parties are bought off too which is reason enough for his ideas to be "swatted" away.
