What Energy Shortage?

I recently noted oil production figures and realized that the U.S. imports about 20% of the world’s supply.That’s lots of dollars lost that hurts our international economy position as well as foreign relations.

Yet, we have enough oil and other at-hand energy in the country for our own needs, were we to politically decide to develop them.

Take natural gas as just one example, as a source of energy that has little environmental downside. We have enough in America to last at least 250 years, until we discover really viable alternative sources. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at twitter)
