Dear thackney,

Thanks.

All that being said, I think that we both agree strongly that our own government should stop interfering with the ability of companies to produce energy domestically in the United States.

I think that we're likely in agreement that we should be drilling in ANWR, drilling off the coast of California, drilling nearer to shore, in shallower waters of the Gulf, off the Atlantic coast, the Bakken - wherever there's oil. We should be doing the whole shale thing (It'll take decades to ramp up, what are we waiting for?), drilling for natural gas, so on and so forth.

But there is the second part of the equation, and that's how a largely unfree, partly-cartelized, largely sovereign-run world oil market impacts our own energy markets and domestic energy production industries.

How do you view the effects of the largely unfree world market on our own domestic energy production?

What role should our government play or not play in the mitigation of any negative effects?

Thanks again,

I see the foreign energy markets have been raised in importance due to the inhibiting of our own.

We are only "held ransom" by them because of our own policies.

We need more nuclear plants combined with nuclear fuel reprocessing. We need better access to our coal, oil, natural gas and shale resources.

We don't need govenment subsidies. We need less govermnent restrictions.
