I am not a great admirer of Donald Trump, but he was right and specific on Fox Wednesday night as he discussed the economic disaster inflicted on us by the Obama administration. He did not find one thing Obama has done that has helped but named several that have harmed. I agreed with his declaration that the United States has an abundance of energy but the energy department and the EPA keep us from developing it and enjoying the benefits of being sufficient in energy. I have been ranting about this for more than a year.
We have some 2,000 trillion cubit feet of natural gas -- that's trillion not billion, according to the June issue of Popular Mechanic. The magazine has the most comprehensive article on energy that I have seen, covering the energy situation from ethanol subsidies (bad) to fusion, perhaps the energy source of the future.
This country is sending over seas some 500 billion dollars a year for oil and oil products. Why not spend that money here and reduce our debt while providing hundreds of thousand, more like millions, of jobs? Why can't our so-called leaders see that? The country is desperate for a solution to our high unemployment and the economy that keeps getting worse. Taking advantage of our abundant energy will at least help.
