    MCCAIN: THE LEXINGTON PROJECT program is AT LAST the knife that will help destroy the OIL criminals who cannot practive FREE MARKET principles. Eat sand ...mid-east market maniupulators.

    • Together, we will break the power of OPEC over the United States. And never again will we leave our vital interests at the mercy of any foreign power.
    • let it begin today with this commitment:Ê In a world of hostile and unstable suppliers of oil, this nation will achieve strategic independence by 2025

    • Bill Wattenburg was asked by the U.S. Government in April 1991 to be the U.S.   scientific  advisor to the Kuwaiti Government and help them put out the 500 oil well fires in Kuwait .  In the course of this effort,  he received daily reports on the continuing conflict in northern Iraq and  saw films of the Kurdish refugees in northern Iraq being machine gunned by Iraqi soldiers when the refugees flocked to the large food pallets that U.S forces were dropping by parachute in remote areas. 
    • Dropping individual packages from  high altitude would also scatter the food over larger areas so that refugees would not be easy targets for hostile soldiers who could target parachutes as they dropped.

    Three ways to get the first new nuclear power plants built very quickly\nDr. Bill Wattenburg- KGO Radio AM810 - San Francisco, California

    • A)   Congress and the  state governments must authorize and clear the way for  the immediate expansion of existing nuclear power plants  that were originally   designed and approved for more reactors than are operating in these plants  today.     We could  build 40 to 50 new nuclear reactors  at the existing nuclear power plant sites.
    • Simply expanding the existing nuclear power plants that have been operating continuously for over forty years is the biggest  reduction of greenhouse gases that can be accomplished without shutting down the American economy.

    • In the early 1990's, the reserve, stored in underground caverns in Texas and Louisiana that can hold up to 700 million barrels, contained about 590 million barrels. At the time, that would have lasted about 82 days with no imports.

    Current nuclear reactors use nuclear fission to generate power. In nuclear fission, you get energy from splitting one atom into two atoms.

    Scientists estimate there are about1 million tons of helium 3 on the moon, enough to power the world for thousandsof years. The equivalent of a single space shuttle load or roughly 25 tonscould supply the entire United States' energy needs for a year, accordingto Apollo17 astronaut and FTI researcher Harrison Schmitt.

    • "Helium 3 could be the cash crop forthe moon," said Kulcinski, a longtime advocate and leading pioneer in thefield, who envisions the moon becoming "the Hudson Bay Store of Earth."Today helium 3 would have a cash value of $4 billion a ton in terms ofits energy equivalent in oil, he estimates. "When the moon becomes an independentcountry, it will have something to trade."
    • For solving long-term energy needs,proponents contend helium 3 is a better choice than first generation nuclearfuels like deuterium and tritium (isotopes of hydrogen), which are nowbeing tested on a large scale worldwide in tokamak thermonuclear reactors.

    As the price of oil roared to ever higher levels in recent years, the leaders of Venezuela, Iran and Russia muscled their way onto the world stage, using checkbook diplomacy and, on occasion, intimidation.

    • wrested control of oil and gas pipelines and pushed back against Western encroachment
    • Russia, which suffered a humiliating economic collapse in the 1990s

    "The Green River Formation of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming “holds the equivalent of 800 billion barrels of recoverable oil—as much as the U.S. would use in 110 years, at current consumption levels, and three times the proven oil reserves of Saudi Arabia,” according to a Nov. 13 press release from the Bureau of Land Management."
