Foreclosing America’s Energy Security (Agenda Part VIII)

What must we do to guarantee that our nation’s energy needs will continue to be met? Simply this: We have to become independent of foreign sources and the consequent political misadventures and fiscal extortion such dependence engenders — no more ill-conceived Mideast entanglements and no more shakedowns by OPEC and its cronies. We must become fully self-reliant, looking to our own producers to supply the energy needed to fuel our economy and to support our social and environmental well-being through alternatives to fossil fuels, many of which are being proposed and discussed and acted upon and all of which hold out significant domestic possibilities.
