I would say these sky-high jet fuel prices are caused in part because America is doing less, not more, to take responsibility for our own energy needs. We're blessed in this country with more than a 200-year supply of coal. It is affordable, but not yet clean. It can be, with the right technology, converted to super clean liquid fuels. Technology has existed in Germany since the 1940s and used in African countries for almost one-third of their diesel and other vehicle fuels. This Congress needs to act to create more affordable fuel here at home.
