Dead on !
That is the only cure for 99% of Americas woes IMO.
Create cheap energy by drilling in the CONUS and it’s territorial waters NOW ! There is 200 years of oil reserves within those limits that will feed even the most thirsty of systems in the US.
The restricting paper dam created by the EPA is that limiting factor IMO. That is the singular political cure vs this BS ethanol or hybrid crap.
Yes, we as a nation need to work on better mileage per gallon vehicles. But no so much for conservation of resources as much as for the economy ! Cheap energy means people go places, have money to spend , save and invest. The manufacturing base, small and large business thrives when energy and fuel is cheap. Not what “”uses”” that resource is cheap.
This nation has 9 regions to the best of my knowledge that Nixon created. Each of those 9 regions should have at a minimum a dozen new nuclear power plants and refineries built within 5 calender years or we perish as a nation. We fall to a position well behind even the worst of third world countries due a incremental balkinization effort underway through such political decisions.
Reinvest foreign aid, that is given to nations seeking to destroy us . Use that foreign aid to build these projects.
Just my opinion of course.......
Never re-elect anyone ! Time to put the professional polidiots out of business !
Does it matter where it comes from? Oil is a commodity sold on the market, wouldn't it just get exported for higher profit? Petroleum stocks are up, oil imports are down and refineries are slowing production. That tells me there is no shortage and prices are being kept high in the market. Seems that we would have to nationalize the oil industry to directly control the oil and force prices down because I doubt they'll shoot themselves in the bottom line.
