Bump!"
Bumping your bump!
Here's my energy policy:
1. Build fission nukes, the technology is here now.
2. Open up the American coal reserves that Bill Clinton put off limits in a land-grab that simultaneously appeased Earth Firsters and the proprietors of dirty Indonesioan coal, the Riadys.
3. Explore and develop all American oil reserves, including ANWR, and even those off my California coast and the coast of Florida, among others. That oil in the ground is our strategic reserve, let's get them tapped and ready to open the spigots at our whim.
4. Meanwhile, during peacetime, we consume as much as we can from foriegn sources. Doesn't matter if we're using foriegn oil then, as long as we can rapidly shift to domestic production should the need arise. Then we can wait them out, if necessary. As the Iraqi minister said, what are they going to do, drink their oil?
