IT'S NOT OIL! IT'S ENERGY!

THE IDIOTS WHO THINK THAT OBAMA'S DECISION TO ALLOW SOME NEW OIL EXPLORATION AND DRILLING IS THE GREATEST THING SINCE WHATEVER ARE ALL DELUSIONAL.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT OIL, IT IS ABOUT TOTAL ENERGY INDEPENDENCE. HERE IN NORTH AMERICA WE HAVE VAST AMOUNTS OF COAL. ENOUGH TO RUN DOZENS OF ELECTRICITY PRODUCING PLANTS FOR WELL OVER A HUNDRED YEARS. THE CLEANEST COAL IN THE WORLD AND THE TECHNOLOGY TO MAKE IT BURN EVEN MORE CLEANLY THAN ANY WHERE IN THE WORLD.

WE HAVE VAST AMOUNTS OF OIL IN THE SANDS AND SHALE OF THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA. MORE THAN OUR ENEMIES OF THE ARABIAN PENINSULA EVER DREAMED OF. WE HAVE THE ABILITIES TO RETRIEVE THIS OIL.

NATURAL GAS ABOUNDS THROUGHOUT NORTH AMERICA.

WE HAVE THE CAPABILITIES TO BUILD THE BEST AND SAFEST NUCLEAR PLANTS THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.

WE HAVE THOSE WHO WOULD BANKRUPT AMERICA TO GAIN THEIR SOCIALIST CONTROL BY WHISPERING FEARFUL THINGS IN THE EARS OF THE TIMID AND THOSE OF WEAK MORAL FIBER CONCERNING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THESE NATURAL RESOURCES.

IF AMERICA HAD BEEN ALLOWED TO ACTIVELY PURSUE THE DEVELOPMENT OF ALL OF THESE RESOURCES DURING THE "SLICK WILLY" AND THE "DUBYA" ADMINISTRATIONS, WE WOULD BE, NOT ONLY ENERGY INDEPENDENT, BUT EXPORTING ENERGY. INSTEAD OF HAVING COAL WHICH NEEDS TO BE CLEANED BEFORE BEING USED IMPORTED, WE COULD BE USING AND EXPORTING OUR OWN CLEAN COAL.
