Energy for the Masses

I've been concerned about the US energy situation for many years, but my ideas have never been implemented. No surprise there.

We simply can't continue to rely on oil and gas from our ideological and physical enemies as we have been. We have to drill in and around the US for our own oil. We have to drill in Alaska wherever we can find oil, including ANWR [and that would use less than 1% of the area]. We have to drill in the upper central US, where deposits are huge. We need to concentrate on coal and its cleaner operation. We have to construct many new nuclear power plants.

Democrats, Liberals, Greenies, and whatever are preventing us from becoming energy independent. They block drilling virtually everywhere, they try to regulate coal fired energy into submission. They panic everyone about nuclear energy when they know very well it is safe and efficient. We do not operate power plants like Chernobyl.

I don't often do this, but I'm supplying here two links. One is to Family Security which gives a succinct explanation of how nuclear energy production works. And the other is an excellent essay on the need for nuclear power. Please follow these links. I think you'll be pleased at what you read.
