North America Can Become Energy Independent
2 Comments
Being energy independent would mean less terrorism in the world and less terrorism threats to America.
President Bush in his State Of The Union address expressed his sentiments of America being less dependent on foreign oil. He called it an addiction. But his solutions of finding an alternative energy may not be necessary as the alternative means of energy Independence have already been discovered.
If the United States could become energy independent, especially with access to vast quantities of oil reserves, many of our political and military troubles could be become non-existent. And the world terrorist activity and saber rattling from the Middle East and Venezuela would dwindle through lack of funding from oil revenues.
Just think for a moment what the results of being independent from the high prices of oil imports. Besides reducing the funding for terrorist activities, such diplomatic policies as giving Palestine their own country would no longer be of main concern to our National security. Israel will then be free from Western and UN meddling to do what it needs to do to protect her lands and citizens from terrorist attacks.
Of course we should see a large reduction of gas prices at the pumps.
The United States has a vast amount of untapped oil reserves in Alaska. But the environmentalist do not want this great wealth of oil tapped. Also, our northern neighbor, Canada, has the world’s second largest oil reserves. Why then are we so dependent on foreign oil imports?
The eco-terrorists would like us to regress to less efficient power alternatives such as wind, water, and bicycling. This was the aims of the movements that were spawned during the energy crisis in the mid 1970s.
Countries like France get over 75% of their electrical power from the highly efficient nuclear energy at a fraction of cost to oil. Again the environmentalist do not want nuclear energy because of perceived dangers. The development of nuclear energy has come a long way since Three-Mile Island.
Let us hope this come to plan in the very near future before time runs out against the war on terrorism.
