October 15, 2001NATIONAL SECURITY LEADERS SUPPORT RENEWABLE FUEL STANDARD "Ethanol, biodiesel and other biofuels will slow the flow of dollars to the Middle East, where too many of those dollars have been used to buy weapons and fund terrorist activities."
In a recent letter to the Senate, former U.S. national security leaders expressed their support for a renewable fuel standard to advance America's energy security. "Americans are aware of the enormous and complicated tasks ahead in dealing with the consequences of the unprecedented September 11th attack against our nation. There are many corrective actions that require lead-times that could be months or even years. But, there are actions that can and must be taken now. One of those critical actions is to advance America's energy security," wrote F. James Woolsey, Former Director, Central Intelligence; Admiral Thomas Moorer USN (Ret), Former Chairman, Joint Chiefs of staff; and Robert McFarlane, Former National Security Advisor to President Reagan.
"Disbursed, renewable and domestic supplies of fuels and electricity, such as energy produced naturally from wind, solar, geothermal, incremental hydro, and agricultural biomass, address those challenges," they said.
Among the actions supported include the adoption of a renewable fuels standard. "These actions will also develop new industries and jobs, strengthen communities, enhance the environment, and assist in the stabilization of greenhouse gases," they said. "Ethanol, biodiesel and other biofuels will slow the flow of dollars to the Middle East, where too many of those dollars have been used to buy weapons and fund terrorist activities."
