Can America Be Energy Independent?

Do you think America could be energy independent if it was our national goal?

How long would it take? How could it happen? Or is it impossible? Let me know why or why not?

I believe our country's future is in grave danger over our depedency on foreign oil. I believe we fund both sides of the war on terrorism. We pay for our military, but we also send money to OPEC nations. Some of that money finds it's way to terrorists who then are supplied to fight us. I also believe that our national security and foreign policy choices are held hostage by our continuing need for oil. I want to see a future where America can make choices in the world that are independent of our need for foreign supplies of energy.

What is your opinion on this?

Blog-Out's Hello

Greetings everyone,

I do not have much loyalty towards one party or another. But if I were to state my political bent... I expect I try to be pragmatic and am sometimes liberal when I can be.

I am very interested in reading what all of you have to say about politics and hopefully many of you will weigh-in your opinions on the topics I offer.

Hopefully some of what we say may make a difference for the better.
