Congress: Vote for the American C.O.N. Energy Independence Bill
What this nation needs is for Congress to pass the American C.O.N. Energy Independence Bill. What is the CON job, you ask? Glad you asked. ‘C’ stands for Coal; ‘O’ stands for Oil; and ‘N’ stands for Nuclear.
The Republican Party is in disarray today because of doubletalk and doublemindedness. Conservatives must clearly and consistently advocate the production of more energy of all kinds, especially coal, oil, and nuclear. But if Republicans want to appear to be as “green†as the Democrats, then its no wonder their message is incoherent. This makes them look insincere and hypocritical. This is not clear thinking. Even big bad John McCain buys into the man-made global warming theory and goes around bashing American oil companies. After all, it is these very oil companies who are producing the oil we put in our gas tanks.
Proposed Resolution for the U.S. Congress: enact policy to develop a positive business friendly C.O.N. energy independence program that will enable the U.S. economy to grow by leaps and bounds. This legislation will increase our national security by freeing us from our dependence on foreign dictators and Middle Eastern oil sources. Congress must pass legislation supporting an American C.O.N. [C = Coal; O = Oil; N = Nuclear] Energy Independence Bill.
Congress. Let “we the people” go! First, remove the block that is preventing us from turning coal into liquid fuel. Second, remove the block that is preventing us from drilling for oil in Alaska, offshore, and in the several states, and from building at least a dozen new oil refineries. Third, remove the block that is preventing us from building at least one nuclear plant in each of the 50 states. “We the people” demand energy independence! We no longer want to have any need for foreign oil. If Democrats in Congress do not consent to the will of the American people, they shall forthwith be removed from their elected position and replaced with someone who hears what we are saying and represents the will of the American people.
This is a world that runs on oil—black gold. There is absolutely nothing bad about the use of fossil fuels. In fact, the opposite is true. America has prospered because we have had plently of energy to fuel our industries and businesses. Fossil fuels do not hurt the environment. CO2 is not a polutant. God put fossil fuels in the earth for man to harvest and use. Drilling for oil and digging for coal are part of man fulfilling the cultural mandate to subdue the earth and have dominion.
The Middle East is the biggest supplier of the world’s oil. The Democratic Party—made up of liberals, elitists, environmentalists, global warming adherents, the Greenies, socialists, communists, and globalists—is the biggest enemy of capitalism, free enterprise, and economic growth in America. The company of Democrats love misery. Misery for the people they were elected to represent. However, they love to control peoples lives through the distribution of wealth, which is socialism, by means of big government.
Henry Kissinger stated, “Control energy and you control the nations.†In his book, American Theocracy, Kevin Phillips writes: “The stakes could hardly be higher. Since the early twentieth century, the world’s age of oil has also been its era of American supremacy. Few doubt the interrelationship. Not merely a symbol of U.S. global power, petroleum has been its fuel for military might, twentieth-century manufacturing supremacy, and the latter-day SUV gas-hog culture. Oil abundance has always been part of what America fights for, as well as with.â€
America must develop diverse alternative energy sources. In addition to oil, one of the best sources of energy is nuclear energy. American entrepreneurs should be encouraged to step up and start new energy companies and become leaders in a multi-fuel-based economy.
Proposed Resolution for the U.S. Congress: remove liberal Democratic road blocks that have placed overregulation, costly litigation and red tape bureaucracy ahead of America’s energy and economic superhighway, paving the way into the future. Energy independence must be considered an emergency national security concern. Appropriate action must be taken for America to become energy independent by 2010.
Beyond this, Congress must suspend the use of all American grown corn for ethanol. Corn ethanol is not all it’s cracked-up to be. Ethanol is a poor use of corn. It is hurting our economy by raising fuel and food costs.
Drilling for oil in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) makes sense, in fact, barrels of dollars and cents. Yet extreme environmentalists twist the facts to turn it into an unnecessary controversy, thus halting the economic progress and oil independence for America. Drilling in ANWR would not harm Alaska’s environment in any way. Only a small portion of the 1.5 million acres of flat and featureless coastal plain of ANWR would be affected. Surface disturbance would be limited to 2,000 acres of the big coastal plain. Imagine a postage stamp compared to a football field. ANWR is a vast wildlife refuge in the biggest state of the United States. And, there are plenty of oil reserves yet to be tapped in some inland states and various offshore sites.
Proposed Resolution for the U.S. Congress: start new oil startup companies to compete with the oil industry giants in exploring and drilling for oil. New companies shall have the right to explore and drill for oil along with the oil industry giants. The Prudhoe Bay on Alaska’s North Slope, and the vast reserve located deep within the glacial bogs of Canada’s Northwest Territories, should be opened up for drilling.
There is no justifiable reason why all Americans cannot continue to enjoy an upwardly mobile and affluent lifestyle, produced from the bountiful supply of energy resources yet to be tapped. Energy in all forms is necessary for America to remain free and prosperous. It is a myth to claim there is a shortage of water and food, or a scarcity of oil and other energy resources on planet earth. To say so is just a scare tactic. In the second edition of his book, The New Wellness Revolution, Paul Zane Pilzer says we must shift our thinking from scarcity in resources to one of an excess of economic abundance and richness. There is a shortage, however, of common sense, and putting the interests of the American people first, among career elitist politicians. Be advised that the agenda of the environmentalist extremists is not in favor of producing greater wealth in America, only creating chaos to prevent capital gains.
Vaclav Klaus, president of the Czech Republic, spoke in Washington at a dinner sponsored by the Competitive Enterprise Institute. He told the truth about radical environmentalism. It’s socialism, he said, or worse. It’s an effort to control your life by claiming that your lifestyle is damaging the environment, he added. The promoters of this insidious ideology are dressing it up in “green†garments in order to fool us into giving up our freedom and independence. His book is titled, Blue Planet in Green Shackles.
Klaus lived under communism. He understands the socialists and the communists and doesn’t want any part of their dangerous ideology. But in order for the American people to accept his analysis, we have to conclude that so-called “Green conservatism†is an oxymoron that not only spells the death of human freedom and economic progress in America.
