Terror Free oil is finally opening it's first station in Omaha, Nebraska. My only problem -- they are not opening one down the street from me. The Terror-Free Oil Initiative, based in Coral Springs, Florida, believes that 'U.S. dollars, used to purchase gas made from Middle East oil, funds terrorism.' With the Terror Free Oil stations, Americans will have a choice.
Many of us have already boycotted Citgo oil which comes from Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. Using only 'friendly oil' is a good start, but the Terror Free oil initiative wants Americans to go further, by encouraging the use of alternative fuels. "We believe that we are financing our own demise by purchasing crude oil from the Middle East," spokesman Joe Kaufman said. "We'd like to avert another 9/11 if possible."
If America is successful in reducing gasoline usage by 20 percent in the next 10 years, Southwest Nebraska and the rest of the Midwest will play a big part, through the manufacture of ethanol."Over the next two years, our state will see our ethanol production capacity double to more than 1.2 billion gallons a year," said Gov. Dave Heineman. "And with the number of potential plants on the horizon, we hope to maintain and enhance our position as a major source for the ethanol produced in this country."
And, U.S. Rep. Lee Terry is right when he says "I know we can do better than increasing ethanol use by 20 percent in 10 years, but it's a start." (source)
Some are saying that the Terror Free Oil will cost Americans more than they are willing to pay, but Mr. Kaufman says the Terror Free stations will be competitive with other local stations.
