I vividly remember the terrible,
negative impact here in the USA that was caused by the
OPEC oil embargo during the late-1970's . . . and for 30
years have been amazed at the various political
roadblocks preventing our country to again be
self-sufficient in its energy needs.
Why should we have to wait "how many years" until
alternative energy like hydrogen can replace America's
dependency on oil from OPEC and other foreign suppliers
when we could have and can still do something until
then?Why are we not
tapping America's oil deposits in shale when they are
three times more than Saudi Arabia's?
What about the new steam
technology available to environmentally extract the oil
that |

keeps the land as
is? We don't want environmental reasons why not to
do so, but environmental reasons on how
to do so. And wouldn't doing so be an economic
advantage for our country . . . creating new jobs and
lowering the cost of energy? |

Why is China drilling off Florida's cost, but US
energy companies cannot do so? Shouldn't the oil deposits
nearest our country benefit us instead of China and other countries?
How is this economically and politically good for our country?
We would also gain control over the
environmental issues relative to China and other countries
drilling off of America's shores. (States refusing to do so need
to be thinking about what is good for all of America.)
What about nuclear power? Why are
progressive countries like France and Italy fully committed to using
nuclear power to meet their electrical energy needs? (Finalize
the decision on a remote place for the small amount of the nuclear
waste . . . for the good of all the country.)
And about using hydrogen as a fuel for cars . . . What is the actual
transitioning time frame when hydrogen can be used economically
while minimizing the impact to the global economy?
So, all elected officials in Washington, D.C. and at the state level
. . . wake up to the reality of America's energy needs for today and
the near future.
Sadly, the alarm started to ring loudly with
the OPEC embargo in the 1970's. |
