More on energy

Hi

In my last blog I mentioned several things about how to deal with our energy problem, today I would like to make some additional comments. I referred to T. Boone Pickins in my prior blog and this is what I understand his thinking to be. Both he and I are for the immediate start of drilling for oil, both off shore and in ANWAR. It makes no sense to import oil when we have reserves available. I mentioned in that blog that drilling would help our economy and our national defense. We conservatives must get the message out, the people who are holding drilling up are those liberals in congress who are beholding to the special interest conservationalists. We need to recapture our government. Remind them of how both Rep Nancy Pelosi and Sen Harry Reid acted when gas prices were in the $4 per gallon price range. This could easily happen again, so we must be prepared.

Obama, during the presidential campaign, kept saying that conservatives ( McCain? ) opposed alternative fuels, well President Elect, we do not. What we oppose is political rhetoric that solves no problems. Do you really want Americans to be vulnerable to OPEC and others for their security? I know that I don't.

We should start now to beat the drum for solutions, additional refineries, clean coal plants and nuclear plants. Come on lets really get the ball rolling. Now to my " good friend" Senator Schemer from New York, so what if it takes 10 years to see this domestic oil. just the idea of drilling would dampen the spirits of oil exporters. They would not be so quick to raise prices because they would know that their days are numbered. How come you liberals can't see the obvious?

Remember, get out the message, keep up the explanations and above all keep the faith and belief in conservative ideals. I know we will win out.

Here I ask for your prayers for our brave service people.
GOD Bless.
