A looming crisis

The time has come for this nation to apply every means possible to secure some type of energy policy that will sustain us through the coming years. But through it all the Obama plan seems to have been to ignore those things that Conservatives wanted, (nuclear & oil) in an effort to appease his radical far left liberal/progressive backers while helping to benefit the union and green movements. With the far left and their view on drilling and nuclear power the outlook for this country will not be good. It brings closer that looming crisis of an energy shortage and extremely high costs involved with the  transportation of food when gasoline and diesel fuel drive those prices through the roof. We can stack windmills on top of one another and put solar panels on the roof of every house in this country but it will not replace our need of fossil fuel and we cannot wish these problems away.

If we don't make it easier to get nuclear plants online and unless we can drill in all areas that have a reasonable chance of producing oil then we continue hurting ourselves and taking a huge chance of driving this country into a depression that will finish off what our enemies could not. Somehow we must convince the folks drawing the big bucks" our esteemed leaders", they have not done anything to get us in control of this shortage of energy in this country and they have to  get off their collective asses and do something for the country or they will be the next to get their walking papers. We have the Obama administration shut down oil exploration  which will only slow down our recovery even more because of an explosion and fire which has been investigated and studied and draws no bearing on the exploration of oil. While this country falls further behind in energy production this step by the president in light of our energy situation makes absolutely no sense. Why shut down an industry which keeps our country running, an industry which employs hundreds of thousands of people across this country? It also makes no sense to shut down an industry that also creates thousands of off shoot jobs and all of them paying above average salaries from the professional all the way down to day labor. These two areas of energy production, nuclear and oil, will increase our independence and our tax base and that my friends would quickly cut our deficit not to mention, it would help solve our debt crisis with China.

Perhaps if this administration will work with the new incoming party, just maybe an opportunity will present itself to all of the parties involved and eyes can be opened and there will be a re-opening of those areas the administration had shut down and then along with that perhaps nuclear plants can finally be viewed in a positive light and "leaders" will realize it is time to work together for the good of this country and at that point, nuclear will not have to endure any further harsh treatment with these lengthy involved struggles from environmentalists which would finally allow this country turn the energy corner and really help America revive itself before it's too late. Plus it would stop putting billions of dollars into the hands of enemies overseas.
