Question of the Week: Who Is Against American Energy Independence?
Here’s something that fascinates us and, we believe, warrants an in-depth discussion: who is against American energy independence?
Frequently, we hear people talk about all the potential for harvesting the energy that sits under our Atlantic coast, in the Gulf, or in Alaska. We even hear stories about oil and gas reserves in unexpected places like upstate New York or Ohio. Then there’s tidal and wind energy projects like the one in Massachusetts that the Kennedy Family personally keeps stalling. The ethanol lobby from the corn-producing states has its hands deep in this mess as well.
Doesn’t it puzzle you that a nation with so much energy producing potential remains beholden to foreign oil and gas interests?
Who exactly are the players working against American energy independence?
We don’t really need to ask WHY, because without even knowing who’s involved the answer is money. The answer’s always money. So that’s the first clue: who is making the most money off the status quo, and who benefits the most from using the Liberal left to clog any attempts to harvest our national energy reserves?
Let’s use this upcoming week to think about this question, and see what we can come up with.
