SELECTION OF ELEMENTARY CONTEXTS (MAX 20)
SORTED BY WEIGHED DESCENDING ORDER
ANALYZED WORDS ARE HIGHLIGHTED
CHARACTERISTIC WORDS ARE IN RED

**** *TEXT_0011
SCORE ( 178.612 )

Recently, I joined a_few other Senators in introducing a bill that would increase America's renewable fuel standard and increase ethanol production along with it. A bill like this that's already passed the Senate twice would've provided us with 500, 000 barrels a day of refined ethanol for use in gasoline and would save us $ 4 billion every year in imported oil and gasoline costs.

**** *TEXT_0047
SCORE ( 176.242 )

The President's energy proposal would reduce our oil imports by 4. 5 million barrels per day by 2025. Not only can we do better than that, we must do better than that if we hope to make a real dent in our oil dependency. With technology we have on the shelves right now and fuels we can grow right here in America, by 2025 we can reduce our oil imports by over 7. 5.

**** *TEXT_0011
SCORE ( 134.160 )

The other ethanol bill I_ve introduced would make it easier for more cars to be powered by cheaper, cleaner, ethanol-based fuel. As most of you probably know, there's a fuel known as E85 that's made from 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. it_s a great alternative to gasoline, but the only problem is that we_re in_short supply of E85 fueling stations.

**** *TEXT_0047
SCORE ( 133.129 )

Third, it would help make sure that every single new car in America is a flexible-fuel vehicle within a decade. Currently it costs manufacturers just $ 100 to add these tanks to each car. But we can do them one better. If they install flexible-fuel tanks in their cars before the decade's up, we will provide them a $ 100 tax_credit to do it - so there's no excuse for delay.

**** *TEXT_0024
SCORE ( 129.648 )

Countries like China and Japan are creating jobs and slowing oil consumption by churning out and buying millions of fuel-efficient_cars. Brazil, a nation that once relied on foreign countries to import 80% of its crude oil, will now be entirely self-sufficient in a_few years thanks_to its investment in biofuels.

**** *TEXT_0024
SCORE ( 124.697 )

The market is telling the auto_industry to move away_from oil - but so far only foreign companies are listening. China now has a higher fuel economy standard than we do, and it_s got 200, 000 hybrids on its roads. Japan's Toyota is doubling production of the popular Prius to sell 100, 000 in the U. S.

**** *TEXT_0047
SCORE ( 121.304 )

But building cars that use less oil is only one side of the equation. The other involves replacing the oil we use with the home-grown biofuels that will finally slow the warming of the planet. In fact, one study shows that using cellulosic ethanol fuel instead_of oil can reduce harmful emissions by up_to 75%.

**** *TEXT_0041
SCORE ( 115.822 )

With technology we have on the shelves right now and fuels we can grow right here in America, by 2025 we can reduce our oil imports by over 7. 5. million barrels per day - an amount greater than all the oil we are expected to import from the entire Middle_East.

**** *TEXT_0024
SCORE ( 109.169 )

It means that we_ll need to invest more in the clean technology that will allow us to burn more coal, our country's most abundant fossil fuel. And it means that we should continue to encourage the use of renewable fuels - by insisting that they make_up 20% of our energy use and making sure that every new car in America has a flexible-fuel engine by 2010.

**** *TEXT_0047
SCORE ( 91.734 )

Second, it would let the private_sector know that there will always be a market for renewable fuels by creating an alternative diesel standard in this country that would blend millions of more gallons of renewable fuels into the petroleum supply each year.

**** *TEXT_0024
SCORE ( 89.908 )

demand for oil will jump 40% over the next twenty years and countries like China and India adding millions of cars to their roads, the price of oil is reaching levels we just can_t handle anymore.

**** *TEXT_0041
SCORE ( 88.664 )

First, we should ramp up the renewable fuel standard and create an alternative diesel standard in this country so_that by 2025, 65 billion gallons of alternative fuels per year will_be blended into the petroleum supply.
