No one does a better cleaner or environmental friendlier than the United States when it comes to drilling for oil gas coal oil refineries and fish friendly hydroelectric.

Of the 55 refineries closed in America in the last 10 years they were all closed for economic reasons mostly oil company mergers. Not a single one was closed for environmental purposes or objections.

Having yet another vote on refinery legislation that uses high oil prices as an excuse to weaken environmental protections and to give more legislative gifts to the oil industry is misguided in the extreme.

Liberals in Congress have spent the past three decades pandering to environmental extremists. The policies they have put in place are in large part responsible for the energy crunch we are seeing today. We have not built a refinery in this country for 30 years.

Organic architecture seeks superior sense of use and a finer sense of comfort expressed in organic simplicity.

Our ideal is to make her ever stronger and better and finer because in that way alone as we believe can she be of the greatest service to the world's peace and to the welfare of mankind.
