I know, and its going to get much worse as climate change and destruction of the environment continues. Population growth will add to the problem, and our continued pursuit of "happiness" byway of the commercial. 

My daughter a proud graduate of U of I chemistry grad dept., has been working with a start up in Silicon Valley on a synthetic fuel substitute for diesel, and hopefully will continue to focus on alternative energy sources.  She has been concerned for some time over the use of biofuels.

can be repealed only from there. Certain
members, such as Senators Mark Kirk of Illinois and Robert Menendez of
New Jersey, as well as Ed Royce, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs
Committee, have emerged as pacesetters on the issue.
Behind these public figures stand an assortment of more shadowy aides,
such as Kirk’s deputy chief of staff Richard Goldberg or Royce’s
foreign-policy adviser Matthew Zweig. They in turn work closely with
