advanced technology, we can explore these rich sources of energy
using only a small portion of surface land, thereby protecting our
environment and wildlife in ANWR.
In addition, we must expand our refining capabilities to fully
convert these natural resources to usable energy The American
downstream energy industry is working hard in this regard and will
add over 1 9 million barrels per day of new refining capacity by the
year 2012.
Conservation and new energy technologies arc also crucial as-
pects of an effective and balanced energy plan Texas is a leading
adopter of alternative energy solutions and boasts the nation’s high-
est wind pow'er production and the most alternative fuel vehicles on
the road We are also leading the charge in the development of
cellulosic ethanol made from grass and biodiesel made from soy
These crop-based alternatives draw upon renewable resources that
are ab'iyidant in Texas.
As consumers increasingly seek cars with better gas mileage,
automakers produce more fuel-efficient products to meet demand I
have introduced legislation in the Senate to amplify the federal
government’s efforts in alternative energy research and develop-
ment The last Congress streamlined the regulatory process to en-
courage more investment in nuclear power plants, which with better
technology are our cleanest and most efficient energy source and
produce significantly less waste than ever before.
Our nation’s energy policy is stuck in the era of bellbottom
pants and platform shoes, and we are long overdue for a change.
However, we cannot combat climbing prices without a plan for in-
creased domestic production of traditional oil and gas and alterna-
tive resources Such a plan would also put us in charge of our own
economic security, rather than relying on suppliers that seek to harm
our countiy
Congress must act, but not with knee-jerk penalties for the firms
that help drive our booming economy. American ingenuity has al-
ways solved our toughest problems, and we must put it to work in
tins arena. Alternative energy sources, conservation and respon-
sible use of our domestic resources will provide affordable energy
for our families and businesses.

Imposing restrictions on supply while international demand rises
leads to higher prices. This is a simple lesson from Economics 101

America is blessed with bountiful reserves of oil and gas in
areas such as the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and
