re: #137 HAL2010

Should be our “put a man on the Moon” projet for the next 20 years.

A worthwhile national goal, akin to the Apollo Project, would be to make the United States energy independent over the next 25 years, with the realization that a healthy, growing economy is directly tied to a growing energy supply. This has a number of beneficial effects for the nation. Freedom from foreign interference. Keeping a large share of our money and resources invested domestically. Depriving some of the world’s worst despots of their only source of income. Control over our own economic destiny.

I believe this is an achievable goal, and it’s troubling that no one in the political realm is promoting it.
