Amazing! I just listened to
President Obama on the news speaking to the Europeans how they are in a tough
spot right now in regards to meeting their energy and security needs in part
because they have grown reliant on Russia and have not diversified their energy
sources. Unfortunately, America is dependent on foreign
energy as well. The “drill baby drill”
party has been preaching energy independence the last 6 years but their message
has fallen on deaf ears, until now.
As we see the reset button
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pressed with Russia fail, Obama is finally
becoming ‘more flexible’ and talking more about exporting U.S.
energy.
The
Keystone pipeline, new drilling technology, and increased drill permitting have
all been met with incredible resistance from the Obama administration, his
lockstep democrat party, and his radical environmental supporters. Billions of dollars have been pumped into
renewable energy sources like solar and wind but there have been no detectable
benefits. In fact, billions of dollars
have been lost from these energy companies going bankrupt after getting huge
loans from the American taxpayers.
My own
electric bill has soared over the past few months and gas has topped $3.50
again! Perhaps, if the Obama administration was not
so opposed to fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas we would not be
seeing such high heating costs and gasoline prices. We would actually have an advantage over
these non-friendly energy producers like Russia right now had we
diversified.
Got gas?
America does! America has
incredible natural resources that we are not harvesting and using because the
folks leading us have this utopian vision of the world that is not practical.
Many of them are financially secure so
paying extra at the pump or on their heating bill does not really affect them as
is does the majority of Americans. We
need to start using commonsense solutions and not allow this powerful
progressive agenda run our nation into the ground. I say drill baby drill and let’s press our
own reset buttons at the voting booth in 2014!
