Hi
This is a continuation on my thoughts on our energy policy. I find it hard to understand why neither political party has addressed this issue previously. The apparent divide is environmental activists on one side and commerce seeking cheaper energy on the other side of the issue.
Our elected officials MUST come to grips with this problem. It is about time that Washington makes a decision either way. Come on guys and gals, get with it. The American people need some kind of action.
In my last blog I discussed drilling within the United States. There is another aspect to this thinking, namely national defense and security. How long can we be dependent on foreign crude and still be able to protect ourselves? The answer is clearly evident, not for long. Our domestic supply of oil is large enough to maintain our energy needs for a long time. It makes no sense to me not use our domestic supply. Mind you not waste it but use it in connection with alternative means of energy. I see that the Obama administration seems to be heading for an approval of a new nuclear plant in Georgia, good. We need to use all our brainpower to solve our energy needs. This is an example of what I mean when I say drill and at the same time develop alternate energy sources. We should have been doing this all along.
The solution is not quick but if we do not start somewhere we never will rid ourselves of dependence on foreign sources for our energy needs. Maybe DC is waking up, I sure hope so.
Please continue to pray for the safety of our armed forces.
GOD Bless
