Published | Video Starts at 00:36

And it's just simply time for some more truth telling. It's disingenuous to say publicly that we're all of the above for American energy if we do not embrace biofuels simultaneously.

I find this to be either duplicitous or foolish, and I choose to be neither. (00:36–00:45)

CLAIM

Asserts that setting policies to abolish petrochemicals while acknowledging dependence on them for a decade is disingenuous.
