Read the following article:

And then ask where are the programs to develop replacement uses for the natural gas here in the USA.
Why do the big companies get rich or richer? Because the will exploit the direction in which they can attain growth in revenues and profits. Hence they are the ONLY benefactor to the energy rich resources of the USA. And of course the countries that buy from them.
For a lot less money than Obama and the current congress drop on the way to the bank there could be, SHOULD BE, initiatives here in the USA to use our abundant natural resources to become energy independent.
Instead we remain status quo on energy development programs here at home. As a result we remain tied to the oil producing countries with an appetite for oil that is growing annually. For a resource that is in a distant land and finite.
Here is a golden opportunity for Obama to take steps to lead this nation away from oil dependence using our own natural resources that would in turn create hundreds and thousands of new jobs in the process. Such a program would serve notice to the rest of the world of our intentions. And the announcement itself would inspire a different attitude on the foreign suppliers.
What will have happened on this front during Obama's 4 years in office? Absolutely nothing. As a matter of fact just the opposite. The only actions he has taken have been to stifle energy independence initiatives.
He can only be more concerned what those actions would do to the countries that supply oil to us now, than he is about the needs of his country.
He says he needs four more years to get the job done. And maybe someone less biased on his lack of performance can explain just what "JOB" is it that he needs to get done?
