Seriously folks, we need Energy Indpendence. Stop sucking the oil teat and feeding money to fat sheiks who fund terrorism. We need to leave that area of the world and just let them sit in their mud huts defecating on the floor, and leave us out of it.
We have enough natural gas for a Hundred Years. And the technology for propane cars is old and mature. We need a Manahattan Project for energy independence. We need to stop fooling around with the Middle East, which will always be insane. There is no dealing with them on any level. Anyone who thinks Any policy will work there isn’t looking.
I’ve been saying just the same thing for a while now. Screw the arabs. Coal and natural gas will get us through until we can develop something to replace them.
And you are right we do need energy independence.
However I disagree with your Manhattan project. We need less government. We need to get rid of the EPA and other agencies, laws, regulations and programs. The EPA , energy dept etc. are crippling energy production in the U.S.A . Just get government out of the way begging with abolishing the EPA, energy dept, dept of interior, etc. ,IRS ,government schools, HUD , local government agencies etc. For example EPA shutting down coal plants, CO2 global warming regulations, restricting new technologies like fracking. We have enough oil, oil shale, coal , natural gas , nuclear etc to be completely energy independent if only we get government out of the way.
Between Alaska, Canada and Mexico we have all the oil we need for over 100 years too.
Build some new refineries, some new nuclear plants, etc. and along with coal and natural gas we are set for life.
Solar and wind can be shoved up the progressives butts.
