Support E85 Now!

E85 Friends and Advocates:

The U.S. Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water did NOT include any funding for E85 national deployment in the federal fiscal year 2007 bill it approved yesterday. The full Senate Appropriations Committee is scheduled to consider this legislation tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m. PLEASE CALL YOUR SENATORS THIS AFTERNOON OR EARLY TOMORROW MORNING TO URGE THEM TO ADD AT LEAST $8 MILLION FOR E85 NATIONAL DEPLOYMENT. To date, 37 Senators have formally endorsed this funding request. You can obtain your Senators' telephone numbers at 202-224-3121.

Thank you for your support of E85!

KailuaBay.org Was Hacked

Last week the site was hacked and defaced by some loser that calls himself Cyber Raider. Apparently, he lives in Turkey and doesn't care much for the U.S. or perhaps just our government. There was no agenda posted on his website (link not-provided to avoid potential malware). So, I will give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that he too is disgruntled with our government's non-responsiveness to global environmental concerns.

The site was hacked because of a security flaw in PHP-Nuke (v7.4). So, I am moving the content management to Google's Blogger and all news, announcements and other commentary will continue to be available at KailuaBay.org. Hopefully, I'll be able to retrieve all of the archived content and repost it soon.

You can temporarily access old pages by using Google to view cached pages using the following search "site:www.kailuabay.org".

Thanks for your patience and continued support.
