I have been away for a while and was surprised to find the obvious lack of any discussion regarding energy independence.

Another concept destined to cripple the USA while political partisan positioning is so much more important.

I do not understand why the American adults do not deluge their representatives to DO SOMETHING.

Stop the bickering of no don't do this because, but that because.......do them all.

The argument of it takes years to see impact is BS. It starts with beginning. If we would have done ANYTHING.....ANYTHING....10 years ago we wouldn't be wringing our hands now. Drill yes (every other country is 50 miles off our coasts drilling.....WHAT A JOKE!!!!).
ALTERNATE FUELS? YES. Do it all.

What is it going to take to make the US great again? Get the the politics out of it and put AMERICA first.

What a pity we allow us to become a second rate nation....no manufacturing.....other countries buying our businesses. I fear we are complacent sheep destined to be a wage earning society only.

Why isn't it an issue in need of a paradigm shift? Why?
