The goals of alternative energy are admirable but not expedient. We need security and a functional economy NOW. The Brazilians no longer are dependent on foreign oil, OPEC, and the myriad of highway robbers. They found enough oil in the Pacific. In the US that is illegal. There is more shale oil in the Rocky Mountain Range than in Iraq. In the US it is illegal to obtain it. We can sustain ourselves for over 25 years without foreign oil from a 0.01% barren coastal region of the ANWR. In the US it is illegal to drill there. Congress is our own worst enemy! Too many legislators have been pimped by controlling forces that want the status quo. The oil speculators who gamble on the rising oil prices should be wiped out by a substantial release of the oil reserve that would break their backs and serve as an excellent teaching tool via the US. Our security and economy are top priorities. We can’t wait any longer…. We must DRILL HERE. DRILL NOW. PAY LESS!!

We can guarantee that a strong energy bill makes it to the presidents desk despite his threatened veto and the efforts of the auto lobby. A bill that includes the senates version of higher fuel efficiency standards and a renewable electricity standard of 15% is achievable and critical. Critical to our environment, critical at limiting our dependence on foreign oil and critical to developing a healthy and strong alternative energy economy.
