Promises of America becoming energy independent have resounded for decades.
Now, someone is actually doing something about it.
While Leftists and the media are bashing the Trump administration at every opportunity, little is being reported on the long range changes being made. Secretary of Energy, Rick Perry, made an interesting statement in an interview today, saying that America will not just become energy independent, but energy DOMINANT.
That is a pretty bold statement.
But it’s not just a bold statement. Perry is mobilizing the Department of Energy like no other Secretary has done. He was an excellent choice by the President to lead this effort. Regulations that have hamstrung and killed the coal industry have been reversed. Low emission use of coal in America is experiencing a revival, and other countries are buying and using our coal.
Development, marketing and use of American coal, natural gas and oil is alive again.
Nuclear energy is back on the table again as well. Perry is focused on using new technology to enable the safe use of nuclear energy and disposal of nuclear waste. For decade, the government has put nuclear development on the back shelf to gather dust. Secretary Perry has moved it forward.
Perry is also negotiating with Canada and Mexico create a world energy empire that would lead the world in providing energy, with America being the kingpin.
It makes sense for America to use her natural resources rather than being dependent on foreign countries that do not always have our best interests at heart. The economic impact will be staggering. National security is also in a much better position when we are self sufficient.
Thank you President Trump and Secretary Perry for moving American energy policy in the right direction.
