How often if I and many in industry and government called for the United States to be self-sufficient in energy and not be subject to whims of our enemies? Iran has threatened to close the Straits of Homuz through which goes one sixth of the global consumption of petroleum.
President Obama continues to oppose opening more areas to drilling and is even opposing the Keystone pipeline which would bring energy from Canada. One promise Obama made in his campaign was to increase the cost of utilities. That has been accomplished. Americans are paying more, especially for electricity, but consider what it will cost if Obama succeeds in his desire to shut down the use of coal to fire electric generating plants. With Obama's policies to deal with, we don't need any other enemies.
