This is BIG.  Another way for the Coal-To-Liquids crowd to get a foot in the door via Defense appropriates. Please send your letter. Also you will have to send it separately to Rockefeller but there are instructions on how to cut and paste your message in his email system.
thanks, paul

Take Action: No Dirty Fuels in the Defense Authorization Bill

Not satisfied with resounding losses last year, coal-to-liquids proponents
are now trying to tack incentives for their dirty fuels onto the Defense
Authorization bill. Coal-to-liquids, or liquid coal, would cause double the
global warming pollution as conventional transportation fuels and would
dramatically increase destructive coal mining in our nation.


These proponents are also taking aim at "Section 526," a provision in the
recently passed energy bill that prohibits federal agencies from spending
taxpayer dollars on purchasing contracts for dirty fuels that would
increase global warming pollution.


Tell Congress to reject incentives for liquid coal and to preserve section
526!
