AMERICA’S ENERGY FORUM Bringing experts and verifiable facts to the energy discussion

Veterans Understand Energy Security

No one better understands America’s need for energy security than our veterans who have defended our rights and borders for more than 200 years.  They know that protecting America goes beyond the battlefield and that energy security plays a key role in our safety.

Our veterans also know all too well the sacrifices and costs of being reliant on others.

The U.S. is currently increasing our dependence on oil from foreign sources, while we have huge quantities of it here in North America.  Meanwhile, America needs jobs, our federal and local governments need more revenues, and our economy needs more stimulus.

We can address all of these challenges by just allowing greater access to our vast North American energy resources. 

The simple truth is that America has the opportunity to reduce its dependence on foreign oil from volatile locations around the world; keep more of that money and more of those jobs here at home; and, create more dependence on ourselves.

America needs to rely on all forms of north American energy:  fossil, renewable, nuclear.  But no matter how fast other sources are developed, oil and natural gas will supply the majority of our power for decades.  We should be acquiring it right here on on friendly soil and off America’s shores.

Just read a great book called "Power Down" that talks about American energy and what can go wrong if we rely on other countries for our oil. I recommend the book, and now believe even stronger that we need to have control over our oil supply and not rely on others.

This just makes so much sense, as a veteran of two Middle East wars, I am certain of one thing and that is this part of the world is volatile and uncertain. Imagine if all the countries we get oil from suddenly decide to stop selling it to us or start to charge $1,000 a barrel? The time to gain energy independence is now; let’s not wait until it is too late! Contact your representatives and tell them to come up with legislation that supports our independence and security!

I absolutely agree. We can't keep relying on dangerous foreign countries to supply our oil. That's a threat to our economy and our national security. It's so simple!
