					<description>Demand $2 a Gallon Gas

Oil was $120 a barrel on May 5, 2008. 

The cost of a barrel of synthetic fuel from coal is estimated to be $55, including the infrastructure and labor force necessary to operate plants.	

Germany fueled WWII with synfuel from coal. It is proven technology. 

America has 1/3rd of the coal on Earth and can eliminate dependence on foreign oil.	

Reducing America’s trade imbalance keeps money and jobs here in America. 

Every billion in trade deficit costs 13,000 American jobs. $400 billion for oil last year:  you do the math.

And we can stop sending billions to countries that sponsor terrorism.

Synfuels are cleaner burning than gasoline and carbon sequestration can remove CO2.

Harness your anger at the pump. Call you're US Senators and demand they break ground on America's energy independence by encouraging an American synfuel industry in this decade.

If you don’t raise your voice the oil companies, lobbyist and politicians will assume you are fat, dumb and happy and ready to pay even more.</description>

					<description>[...] Bear Creek Ledger tells us the real reason gas prices are high.  Enviromental groups driving regulations. Congress, through the influence of enviro lobbying groups, has regulated ourselves out of the business of refining crude. The same thing applies to drilling for oil domestically. There’s plenty of crude in the US plus there’s coal gasification which could be utilized. But nooooooo, they have to mandate ethanol which is currently causing the price of corn to go through the roof which will drive all level of food prices. [...]</description>
