U.S. URGED TO PROMOTE FUELS MADE FROM CROPS
The United States should promote alternative fuels made from crops such as
switchgrass and sugar cane to reduce dependence on oil from the unstable
Middle East,former CIA chief R.James Woolsey told Congress on Thursday.
Increased use of such fuels would allow the United States to reduce its
foreign policy preoccupationas well as military expenditureson such
nations as Iran and Iraq while earning up to $12 billion for American
farmers,Woolsey told the Senate Agriculture Committee.
