Energy

It’s time for us to have a real Energy Plan for the United States of America.
There’s more money made by big oil from importing and not drilling than if we’d allow drilling and encourage small businesses to do the work that big oil doesn’t seem to want to do.
Former President Jimmy Carter who set up the Energy Dept. to free us from Foreign Oil Dependency, took us from importing roughly 27%to importing over 70% of our oil. How’s that working for America?
Let’s begin with dissolving the Department of Energy and calling together our Leaders in the energy fields of Oil, Coal, Natural Gas, Wind, Solar, and Nuclear, as well as, manufacturing sectors to come up with both the ideas and plans for a real energy plan. They are the ones who will ultimately produce the jobs to restore America.
We must develop and carry out this plan to begin within weeks of the next legislative session. Then pass the legislation that has Americas Company’s implementing these plans that will begin our climb out of the Energy hole we have gotten into over the last 40+ yrs.
We can take oil from many undeveloped areas as many sources say we have over a 250 year supply of oil and we need to use it.
We need to cut the time of permitting new drilling to no more than 120 days from the day of applying for a permit to drill, to the issuance of permits.
We need to open up ANWAR in Alaska, the Gulf and oil shale to American companies and put Americans back to work, instead of sending our money to countries that promote terrorism.
Natural gas must be used as well in both producing power and in more vehicles throughout the country especially in fleet services, to building more efficient homes.
We must dissolve the EPA and other regulatory agencies, then turn over all regulation and enforcement to constitutionally allowed Branches of Government to manage them such as the Dept. of Interior or Commerce. Congress is the only constitutionally allowed law making body. We must rescind all the ones that have been written by the former agencies.
If we follow these few simple recommendations we can be out of the hole we’ve dug in less than 1 decade. Cheaper energy will create American jobs not just in oil related fields but throughout the economy as the prices for all our goods and services will drop as a result of low priced energy. This along with tax policy changes will bring manufacturing back to America and make America strong again.
The low price of energy will also give us real security as we will no longer be transferring our Wealth over to our enemies, thus enabling them to finance their war against us, by running planes in to our buildings.
