Here’s a plan: Approve the Keystone pipeline. I know that the liberals say that that oil will be pumped to refineries to be made into gas and then shipped to China, but that’s the point: 1. We MANUFACTURE gas from raw oil. 2. We EXPORT the gas to China. Manufacturing and Exporting. Two things Obama said in his speech that he wants to increase.
I completely agree with you on this.
America needs the Keystone pipeline.
Immediately.
The other thing being a net fuels exporter gives us is clout. We can drive down Russian currency and dilute the power of OPEC. Having a big navy and airforce is nice, but we don’t and won’t use it to intimidate and get our way (at least under this president.) But being the most reliable fuel supplier not only makes us richer it also makes the customer’s be nice to you.
And the feds get oil and gas royalties.
And we decrease our dependance on the Middle East, hurting those nations funding terrorism via oil revenues, like Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
