The more we focus on using renewable fuels, the less we are dependent upon foreign oil.

As America celebrates Memorial Day, we pay tribute to those who have given their lives in our nation's wars.

Last month, the Iraqi people went to the polls, voting in their first free election in more than 50 years.

My hope is that we continue to do an even better job in terms of our nation's energy policy, so that we may even further reduce our reliance on foreign sources of oil and take better care of our environment in the process.

In the Armed Services Committee, we endeavored to put forth proposals that would help alleviate some of that stress, both for the troops and for their families.

The more we focus on using renewable fuels, the less we are dependent upon foreign oil.

One only has to look at the performance of the economy to understand how it shapes the perspective of America's youth about military service.
