Leadership & Energy Independence

July 12th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

I was pondering on this thought today. I asked myself, of those who hold leadership positions in America, who among them will take a stand for Americans and help bring forth energy independence?

Will it be our government, or will it be the every day joe, we the people, and private sector businesses collaborating to realize a most worthy goal?

I believe I heard this in a country western song once, “You better stand for something, or you will fall for anything.”

T. Boone Pickens is taking a stand for American energy independence. I applaud him for it.

So, as you look into America’s energy future, what is it that you see regarding our nations oil crisis?

According to www.knoyd.com ("Drill and Mine US Oil--Buy and Refine US Oil!, copyright 2008),

US Energy Independence and Security comes from a three-fold mission:

The United States of America…

1. …has a divine destiny to defend democracy in every nation that currently embraces democracy, and promote democratic principles where tyranny and dictatorship runs supreme. This cannot be accomplished while the US is beholden to the very tyrants against whom it fights.

2. …has energy, whether from oil, bio-mass, coal, or nuclear power, as the life-blood of the US economy. The effects of skyrocketing fuel cost have a direct impact on the affordability of food, clothing, and shelter for every citizen, rich or poor. We must bring down the price of energy without further delay.

3. …energy policy plays a vital role in the creation of thousands and thousands of jobs. The oil shale fields alone can produce enough oil to replace our current imports and do so for 240 years. This is a minimum of 5 generations of employment for families in CO, UT, and WY. We have 250 years of coal supplies that can be converted to liquid fuel, and produce thousands of jobs.

It is time for liberal politicians to severe ties with fascist, economy-wrecking, pseudo-environmental groups and begin to do what is in the best interest of the whole of the citizens of the United States. It is time for conservative politicians to stand and make a very vocal demand for energy independence and security. And it is time for every citizen to follow in the footsteps of Patrick Henry and declare that “Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.” (Patrick Henry, 1775, House of Burgesses)

I have recently used a product from RICHCATT GREEN SOLUTIONS which I found to be a great product, it was their "Graffiti Remover" which I used on a cement wall that runs behind my garage.
