Meanwhile the United States is literally floating on oil and natural gas — Bakken Field, ANWR, North Slope, oil shale at the four corners (Colorado, Montana, Utah, Idaho), oil off California, in the Gulf of Mexico, off Florida and the Carolinas. We have some of the largest coal reserves in the world plus oil synthesized from biomass.

Yet, we convert food crops to alcohol at a time where there are food shortages, we don't build nuclear power plants, we prevent oil and gas exploration and drilling, and we haven't built a new oil refinery since 1975-1976.

WTH is wrong with America's common sense? If we developed our resources, we could be the NEW Saudi Arabia. The Arabs would be pounding sand. And, the Environazis would be absolutely suicidal [this is a good thing].
