Energy consumption and supply are being tightly controlled by government. The United States has plenty of natural gas and oil reserves, both offshore and in Alaska. We have almost unlimited coal supplies, plus oil shale. We certainly can build new nuclear plants to add to the mix.
Developing sources of energy would save trillions of dollars in imported fuels, while keeping dollars and jobs at home. It would give the US energy autonomy, while we develop more solar, wind and renewable energy for the future. While it would would stiffen our foreign policy stance.
Not only that, we will have better control over oil drilling by doing it ourselves. By not relying on foreigners to bungle operations in a way that is not as environmentally-friendly as ours.
But ironically, our environmental policy is suffocated by environmentalism.
