America Must Have Energy Independence

The U.S.A. is blessed with abundant resources including many forms of energy. We need to utilize what we have in safe, environmentally-friendly ways. It is imperative to national security that we take proactive steps to become energy independent. Instead of capping our energy resources and limiting energy production here at home, let’s aggressively pursue all energy alternatives, including building more nuclear power plants, drilling for oil and gas in coastal waters and ANWR, developing biofuels, using the abundance of clean coal with which we are blessed, and expanding hydro, wind, and solar-powered alternatives. We cannot allow ourselves to remain hostage to foreign interests. The future depends on it.
