This country is facing an energy crisis, we’re all aware of this each time we spend 100.00 just to fill up our tanks. For awhile now, we’ve been very ‘creative’ in how we’ve addressed the energy crisis, grow our way out, funny. First let’s start with some basic facts…
1.<!--[endif]-->This country hasn’t built a new refinery to convert crude oil to gas since I believe 1976, over 30 years. Our demand for gas has now surpassed our ability to convert from crude to gas, requiring us to import not only the crude, but the finished product, gasoline.
<!---->2.<!--[endif]-->This nation is the Saudi Arabia of coal, meaning we have some of the world’s largest coal reserves, a known energy source, in our own backyard, in clear abundance, yet we sit on it, because the extremist environmentalist refuse to allow us to tap the resource even as Clean Coal technologies are making this resource environmentally friendly. Nuclear power is another alternative for cheep local energy.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->3.<!--[endif]-->Lastly we have many untapped reserves of oil in this nation. From our coastline to a patch in the Arctic Circle known as ANWAR, the extreme environmentalists refuse to allow us to drill our own oil, we need to tap US supplies, not get ripped off for Middle Eastern oil. It’s a vicious cycle; we pay billions to terrorist sponsors for oil, and then pay billions to fight terrorists. There is a better way, and Obama, and the far left he’s never stood up too is not the answer, fortunately McCain, the alternative, shows he gets it, and has some great ideas himself.

McCain calls for building 45 new nuclear reactors<o></o>
Sen. John McCain called Wednesday for the construction of 45 new nuclear reactors by 2030 and pledged $2 billion a year in federal funds "to make clean coal a reality," measures designed to reduce dependence on foreign oil.<o></o> McCain delivered a speech in Texas in which he made the case for a nationwide effort to reduce dependence on foreign oil, [I]including additional drilling in U.S. coastal waters…<o></o>
The Republican presidential contender said Missouri gets about 85 percent of its electricity from coal, an abundant natural resource in the U.S.
"Perhaps no advancement in energy technology could mean more to America than the clean burning of coal and the capture and storage of carbon emissions,"
With the $2 billion in federal funds, he said, "We will build the demonstration plants, refine the techniques and equipment, and make clean coal a reality. This single achievement will open vast amounts of our oldest and most abundant resource. And it will deliver not only electricity but jobs to some of the areas hardest hit by our economic troubles."
We need an energy policy that makes sense and depends on the US not the Middle East. McCain gets that, Obama thinks he'll invent some new way out.
Vote John McCain in Nov.
