At least this guy has a plan. Since our first energy and oil crisis back in 1973 (31 years ago) the Republican and Democrats only plan has been to import more oil, spend billions of dollars (and American lives) protecting oil producing countrys that have no appreciation for our investment, and see the price of gasoline go from 35 cents to $1.90 a gallon (550 percent increase).
Our dependance on foreign oil has made us strange bedfellows with people who hate us, want to kill us, and want to destroy every trace of our existance. Stupid environmental policy over 35 years has destroyed incentives to research and develop on shore oil production.
Republicans and Democrats have both failed miserably with energy policy. They have allowed us to be dropped into the pit with the vipers to fend for ourselves.
My opinion (for whatever it's worth) is give this guy a chance. At least he has an energy plan that don't involve our military.
If you think it is a good idea, invest your money. Don't use the power of government to confiscate my wealth to fund this quackery. Capitalism works and is compatible with individual rights. Socialism does not work, and is incompatible with individual rights.
