Email from senator DurbinDecember 29, 2007 Mr. Keith, IL Dear Mr. : Since you have contacted me in the past with your support for a new direction in America's energy policy, I wanted to give you this update. The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (H.R. 6) was signed into law on December 19, 2007. This legislation will reduce national gasoline consumption, extend our oil supply, save consumers money, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The measure increases Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards to 35 miles per gallon by 2020. This increase in fuel economy is expected to save between two million and 2.5 million barrels of oil per day by 2025. The reduced fuel expenses could keep billions of dollars in American consumers' wallets each year and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. I am pleased that Americans will finally see a meaningful increase in CAFE standards for the first time in three decades. In addition to mandating improved vehicle fuel efficiency, the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 requires the federal government to reduce its oil consumption by 30 percent by 2015 and sets new efficiency standards for household appliances and lightbulbs. By increasing our energy efficiency, we are taking meaningful steps to protect our national security and economic prosperity and prevent further global warming. I will continue to fight for legislation that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and move America toward energy independence. Sincerely, Richard J. Durbin United States Senator RJD/ab
I believe that our elected officials have the political resolve to pass a comprehensive energy independence legislation bill before the 2008 elections. But will they take the high road and set aside their political differences in a joint bipartisan effort to do what all Americans deserve from their elected officials? Americans are facing some of the most important economic and energy issues in the history of our country. We need to contact our elected officials and tell them that we want a united effort from them to come together and resolve their differences. Our founding fathers had their different political views and they helped create a government of the people by the people, the greatest nation on earth the United States of America! It's up to the 300 plus million people of America to take our government back from those 545 elected officials and fix our current economic situation!
"FREE ENERGY Home Generator - Zero Point Energy Off the Grid" Is this the end of the internal combustion engine? Will we finally be able to drive past gas stations with a friendly wave and a honking horn? Will we be disconnecting from the power grid or even selling power back to the electric company? We're about to find out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgQXYBRYwbg

Stop funding the terrorists!
No more Oil Wars!
Energy Independence Now!
Drill in Anwar.
Build more nuclear power plants
Use More coal.
Use more natural gas
Turn trash into energy
Double the efficiency of windmills and solar cells.
If France can do nuclear power so can we.
If Brazil can do biomass/ethanol power so can we.
If Australia can do LNG power so can we.
Domestically produced energy will end the recession and spur the economy.
Stop paying oil dollars to those who worship daily at the alter of our destruction.
Preserve our Civil Rights and defend our Freedom by ending dependence on foreign oil.
