                     DEVELOPING NEW SOURCES OF FUEL

  (Mr. BROUN of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BROUN of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to ask for us 
Americans to consider what is going to be best for the people of this 
country and stop pandering to the environmental wackos.
  We have to develop alternative sources of fuel. We have to tap into 
our own energy sources. We have to make nuclear energy easier to put in 
place, to build reactors, and to make it less costly to do so. We need 
to tap into our own oil sources. If we're going to lower the cost of 
gasoline, we have to build more refineries. If we're going to lower the 
cost of diesel fuel, we're going to have to tap into ANWR and off the 
gulf coast. It's absolutely critical for our economy to do this.
  We need to look for alternative sources of energy but we have energy 
sources here today. Let's go get them.
