WE NEED A PRESIDENT WHO WILL BOLDY & AGGRESSIVELY DEAL WITH THE HIGH COST OF OIL:
1.) WE NEED to DRILL for oil everywhere it is available on USA lands and waters, on a expedited basis;
2.) WE NEED to OFFER financial REWARDS for the development and implementation of cost-effective and/or renewable energy sources;
3.) WE NEED to BUILD nuclear power plants, on an expedited basis, to provide for at least 80% of our electric power needs.
The OUTRAGEOUS increase in the price of imported oil & refined gasoline will drive our economy into a depression --- AND IT WILL HURT people on fixed incomes, and the working-poor, and the middle-class the most.. It is a crime that our political leaders, both Republicans and Democrats, have allowed this crisis to happen.. The 'tree huggers' and 'greed merchants' have controlled our country's energy supply for too long.. We need to take immediate steps to provide cost relief; we cannot wait 10 or 20 years..
We cannot expect that people on fixed incomes and the working-poor will be able to purchase new, energy-efficient automobiles fast enough to provide significant relief to our energy costs --- those are the people who will be relegated to paying the highest costs for driving an automobile.. A long-term energy plan must be developed ---- but we cannot fool ourselves into thinking that our economy and way of life can endure the current outrageous energy costs --- for long --- without irreparable harm..
WE NEED A PRESIDENT WHO WILL ATTACK THIS CRISIS AS IF THE COST OF FOREIGN OIL WERE AN ACT OF WAR AGAINST THE UNITED STATES --- BECAUSE IT IS --- AN ECONOMIC WAR.
Great news for Barack Obama and for the nation.
