What do you guys think about the idea of America going for it's own natural resources? Were those guys correct saying that the U.S. has 300 years of energy with oil and coal that the govt. is keeping us from being able to get?
And if so...could it be done without another Gulf Of Mexico type debacle? And since it's a global ecology and climate...does it really matter if human beings are drilling here or drilling in Saudi Arabia? Wouldn't we be better off with cheap fuel, 1.2 million high paying new oil jobs, and no more making countries that hate us get rich?
That's kind of the idea that really intrigued me.
I agree with the Republican candidates that if the economy fires back up...all these problems kinda go away. And what better to make the economy roar than that energy/job proposal (if it is true)?
I'm just curious if I'm the only one here who really thinks that could be a solution.
Again, I'm concerned about the environment too. But as I said earlier...we're all on the same planet, so doesn't it do just as much damage to our world for oil to spill in Iraq as it does to spill in the U.S.? And if that's true...then I'd rather have our country strong and prosperous instead of oil sheiks getting richer at our expense.
