If the cost of oil can be brought down to it’s “justifiable” cost in the range of $20/40 bbl — I frankly don’t care where it comes from.....

I would like to think that our history of having developed oil fields and equipment “nationalized” by foreign thugs - has taught us a lesson to apply OUR TECHNOLOGY to OUR resources....

With no end in sight to the level of blackmail that OPEC can ask — it’s insane to not pursue all national resources of oil/coal until the “greenies” can come up with their alternative source in about 20 years.

The Communist “Greenies” in the U.S. and the DNC are partners in forcing this artificial shortage and price climb — to SERVE THEIR OWN POLITICAL POWER goal..

NOTHING the nation needs to address this problem will be approved by a Democrat controlled congress while a Republican President is in the White House.

I tend to agree with you— however I think the ability to be “Fortress America” has been sold down the river by both political parties and global corporate interests.

One cannot argue with the wealth that free trade and globilizaton has brought our nation. However that largess comes with a price: the ability to act unilaterally.

Exactly...they will use the excuse of higher fuel and food costs to justify them raising taxes to create more bloat and useless programs.
