		<description><![CDATA[Most of the comments in opposition to H.R. 1380 indicate unawareness of the fact that BIG OIL has been receiving tax incentives, depletion allowances, EPA  requirement reimbursements, and flat out subsidy for decades.  These government stimuli have allowed BIG OIL to enjoy an UNASSAILABLE position in the marketplace.  

Isn&#039;t it ironical, now that a new &quot;player&quot; i.e., natural gas has stepped onto the transportation fuel &quot;playing field&quot; BIG OIL asserts the newfound philosophy that the marketplace should decide winners and losers regarding transportation fuel.

Most opponents echo that mantra as the basis for their opposition.

Adopting that &quot;let the marketplace decide&quot; philosophy at this stage in our history is tantamount to acceptance of the idea that America is doomed to remain under the thumb of OPEC/BIG OIL for decades into the future. 

There&#039;s nothing wrong with government involvement in our economy at times of economic crisis, in fact it&#039;s a necessity so long as the involvement is crafted in a way to improve our economic interests.  Getting out from under the thumb of OPEC and BIG OIL certainly will satisfy that.  In fact it&#039;s naive to expect our government to do otherwise.  

Don&#039;t forget we&#039;re presently shipping more than 1 $$$$Billion dollars DAILY TO OPEC nations, many which don&#039;t like us much.  H.R. 1380 will cost taxpayers an infinitesimal fraction of that amount, and it&#039;s our last best hope to break the strangle-hold OPEC/BIG OIL presently has.

I say &quot;let&#039;s break OPEC&#039;s grip and &quot;kick start an entirely new industry in America.&quot;

Ask your Representative to vote YES on H.R. 1380]]></description>
