New Kerry Ad on Energy Independence

[The Straight Story]

AD SCRIPT:

John Kerry: "We're the country that invents the future and it's time for America to invest in new technology. Alternative fuels and the cars of the future so we can make ourselves independent of Mideast oil in the next ten years. Our freedom and independence are at stake. I want an America that relies on its own ingenuity and innovation, not the Saudi royal family. I'm John Kerry and I approved this message because no young American should be held hostage to our dependence on Mideast oil."

JUST THE FACTS

John Kerry: "We're the country that invents the future and it's time for America to invest in new technology. Alternative fuels and the cars of the future so we can make ourselves independent of Mideast oil in the next ten years."

John Kerry and John Edwards will create an "Energy Security and Conservation Trust Fund" - capitalized with over $20 billion from existing federal offshore oil and gas royalty revenues - to create a permanent funding stream to develop new clean fuels and technologies for our future.

-- A New National Commitment to Alternative Fuels 20 Percent by 2020. The Energy Trust Fund will also create a "Clean Fuels Partnership" that will bring together government, agriculture and industry to put America on a path to meeting 20 percent of its motor fuel demand with domestically-produced alternative transportation fuels by 2020.

-- Invest in Energy Independence and Create the Jobs of the Future. Kerry and Edwards support ambitious investments in energy independence, helping to create the high-tech, high-wage jobs of the future in producing new energy efficient technologies. This will not only reduce costs for America's families and businesses, it will also help to create entire new industries of the future like producing hybrid and hydrogen-powered cars.

-- Make America Energy Independent Of Middle East Oil in 10 Years. Our security in the war on terror demands an end to our dependence on Middle East oil. Under the Kerry-Edwards plan, we will strengthen our national security while growing our economy and protecting our environment.
