Greater energy independence will require increasing our domestic production, plain and simple. We must move toward greater self-reliance by strategically utilizing our own oil and gas reserves, both onshore and offshore. New energy technologies must continue to move forward—when they become economically viable sources of affordable energy, their use will increase. Until then, pursuing policies that raise the cost of available carbon-based energy may make expensive green sources seem more affordable, but it comes at great cost to our economy and private sector job creation.

Germany and Sweden have announced they will dismantle ALL their nuclear power plants. The rest of Western Europe won't be far behind, and there is no doubt that Obama will use their cover to close our nuclear power plants as well.

When this happens Russia and China will be rubbing their grubby little hands together in glee for we have placed ourselves at their mercy - and they have none.

China has already hacked its way into most of the West's civilian and military computer systems and, together with Russia, will have all the power they need from coal, hydro and nuclear. Add to that unhappy scenario a soon to be united fanatical Islam having all the oil they require for their Holy War.

America and Europe will have windmills and solar panels and 5 watt light bulbs. We'll be green and they will be running the means of production for the world.

All the West can do is pull the sheet up over our heads as they fight it out to see which will become our master.

“Federal Reserve studies find that speculators are not causing gas prices to rise”

Article _“From the campaign trail, then Senator Obama spoke of increased electricity prices as a means for advancing his agenda, noting that costs would "necessarily skyrocket."

barry is going to raise (wanted to, did not pass) cost so GREEN can compete, not wait for technology breakthroughs.

We Need to Regulate Oil Speculators Driving up Gas Prices

Increasing Gas Prices are the best proof we need financial regulation of the commodities speculators that are driving the profiteering going on at the gas pumps. Regulations might harm the speculators Issa is trying to protect but regulation on oil speculators will protect average Americans at the gas pump.

High oil prices are not based on supply and demand, only the demand for profits off the unregulated commodities markets is driving the price of oil. There is plenty of supply, more supply than ever, yet snakes like Issa will use speculative commodities rip-offs to try to make oil speculation a permanent tax on American consumers.

Issa needs to disclose how much money he is receiving from oil companies and speculators to push their agenda.

We also need to regulate campaign contributions and all the graft going around in Washington DC.
