It is no surprise that informed people know what America's concern is, such as the American Chemistry Council, American Iron and Steel Institute, Council of Industrial Boiler Owners, National Association of Manufacturers, the Fertilizer Institute, the American Gas Association, the Farm Bureau, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has also spoken out, not on this issue but on natural gas prices and the shortage. He said: I am quite surprised how little attention the natural gas problem has been getting because it is a very serious problem. That is a true statement, and because of a committee that was asked to do work to plan a policy, we are doing something that Alan Greenspan said. He said he was surprised we are not doing more. We want to do more. This more is a simplistic more. It is a let-us-know-what-we-have more. That is all there is to it. Knowledge is better than no knowledge when it comes to problems. Knowledge of what you own is better than not knowing what you own, and that is the issue.
