>Trump is not the first U.S. President to have promised energy independence.<
He may not be but I’ll bet he’s the first President to achieve it.
Retards.
No kidding. These people are real morons
Richard Nixon is also the guy to suggest an EPA
More half-truths (half-truths=lie) from the Lying Left?
Nobody’s saying we don’t need OPEC oil CURRENTLY.
The point is we have opportunities in the FUTURE to become independent of OPEC oil if we take the right steps and allow full exploration, drilling, and pipelines.
Obama did his ever-loving best to make the US entirely dependent on foreign oil in order to keep the coffers of Arab OPEC nations full while driving the US economy to its knees.
Never again. This nation will be energy independent in the next eight years. Screw the globalists.
We have enough coal in the ground to provide our energy need for the next century. Of course the left knows this so they worked to keep it in the ground.
Reasonable environmental concerns should be noted, but the extreme rules that all but kill the coal industry does nothing but harm us.
There is oil off the coast of California. Open up drilling. There have been oil wells in California since oil was first discovered. What is the harm in drilling more wells? The harm is only to our own economy.
So the first thing that needs to be to become more energy independent it to cut back on all these extreme environmental laws.
This may have a side benefit, cutting funding to terrorist organization.
OPEC needs the US as a customer rather more than the US needs OPEC. Oil is for most purposes a fungible commodity.
Ignoring the fact the carter deliberately shut down working oil wells to create false shortage so’s we’d “need” OPEC
An example is our, Washington State's, Patty Murray.
Yesterday Trump green lighted the Keystone which will move about 650,000 BD of Canadian crude to US gulf coast refineries. That's 2/3 of what is imported from Saudi. Only another 300,000 BD and they are pushed out of the US market.
This person must be bribed like all those politicians the arabs own around here and in europe.
I’d LOVE to see derricks off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard.
Love, love, love it!
Not even reading the entire article it is obvious this is a really stupid idiot basing his premise on a false narrative. ‘After forty years we are still not energy independent’. Duh! who has been controlling the energy policy or blocking energy policy for the past forty years? So he assumes that we are going to believe that since the Democrats have not succeeded in making us energy independent then it must be impossible. IDIOT. We are not fully exploiting all available energy resources such as nuclear, clean coal, natural gas, shale oil, etc.
OMG! I did not even list water, wind, or solar. such commentary would be a waste of time due to reliability, effectiveness, etc..
Why do we even listen to these guys?
