The answer is: The American public.
The question was: Who is forced to buy fuel that costs more to produce than gasoline, reduces mileage, damages boat, car and truck engines and gas tanks, destroys fish and wildlife habitat, pollutes air and water, and makes America more dependent on foreign oil?

I had an interesting discussion with an old friend not too long ago — he was planning a fishing trip with his long-time fishing buddy, who’s gracefully aging and is now into his 80s.
“He’s getting up there, and I’m getting up there, too,” my friend, who’s now into his 60s, said. “His eyesight is failing, and I’m losing my hearing. It’s getting comical when we’re on the water together. For now, we can laugh about it, but it’s starting to get a little annoying.”

Quality outdoor gear comes at a price, both literally and figuratively. For anglers looking for high-performance apparel and equipment, cost is often a barrier to entry. The environment pays a price for our outdoor pursuits, as well, when apparel and equipment that we replace and dispose of ends up in landfills, where the polyester, plastics and other petroleum-based materials can take hundreds of years to decompose.
