While we cannot drill our way out of oil dependency, there is an answer that is good for the American economy, our environment and national security ?The Fuel Choices for American Security Act. By adopting vehicle technologies available today, such as the ability to use different types of fuels in cars, gas-electric and plug-in hybrid cars, and rapidly expanding the use and availability of fuels made from abundant or renewable resources, such as ethanol made from corn or other natural materials, America could begin to wean itself from its oil addiction. Our bipartisan legislation outlines a bold plan to reduce oil consumption and expand the fuel and vehicle choices of the American consumer. If your car had the option of using at least one fuel in addition to gasoline, our economy would be stronger, our environment cleaner, our country safer and our addiction broken. Oil would have less power over our economy as we would have expanded choices of domestic fuels ?and with homegrown choices comes competition in the marketplace, lower prices at the pump, and greater security abroad.
