Jeff Flake-r, Arizona hates America. No money for alternative fuels!
He is against taxpayer funded research for alternative fuels. He thinks the "private sector" should be able to handle research and development. Granted, he's going against his repuke colleagues and EVERY Democrat, he actually is delusional enough to think that big oil will use its enormous profits to help develop alternatives to their black heroin.

Just up on C-Span for your consideration.

2. I'm Trying...
I've been bugging the QuickTrip fuel stations to put in just one Ethanol/Biodiesel pump in their PHX stations; here's the email I recieved:



In response to your email at this time we do not have plans to sell E-85 fuel. I did some research and found out that the reason that we do not sell E-85 fuel is because less than 1% of the vehicle population is able to perform on this fuel. If it were used in most vehicles on the road, it would cause performance issues and probably void manufacturer warranties. I hope this answers your question.


As I suspected - it's all about the money.

4. Sorry about that...
I am a firm believer in striking while the iron is hot. Don't be afraid to use their tactics against them.

Let someone look into his campaign contibutions and find out how much money big oil has given to him. Find out if there is an oil tanker to be named "The Flake".

The free market does not exist. These betwetting, hypocrite liars have to be called out.
