While he considers himself to be an environmentalist, he feels that we should be willing to encourage offshore drilling in the waters surrounding Florida.
I am undecided, but this opinion might have just lost my vote.
He spoke of research into gentically modified sugarcane which would potentially allow the crop to be grown all throughout the lands south of the Mason-Dixon. Padgett used the example of Brazil, and their large ethanol production industry
Sure do wish he would be more creative. A lot of people don't want ethanol.
