The whole secret to getting out of the mess we’re in is domestic energy independence...and abadoning globalism

As a PA resident, I can tell you the MSM here is already pushing stories of 'the polluted water and streams' supposedly caused by shale drilling. The enviroweenies are determined to destroy or hamper the industry. Many suburban communities are holding hearings and banning drilling within their areas. The rural areas are a 'go', however.

The US is endowed with an abundant supply of oil, oil shale, natural gas, coal, and hydro power. Technology supplies the means to convert coal to oil and uranium to electricity. A crash exploration/production program would result in the US being energy independent in a very short time.

The only thing missing is the political will. In fact, politics has caused the latest energy "shortage". Your president is on record as advocating higher energy prices. Attitudes have to change and the political will to exploit resources and expand the economy has to be regained.

That's one part of the secret. Money and banking are just as big a problem if not bigger.

Agree wholeheartedly.

Of course the Council On Foreign Relations (Clintons, Rockefellers, Albright, McCain, etc.) do not see it that way. It threatens their position, kind of like public unions.
