America has been blessed with abundant energy resources. Our prosperity depends on reducing our dependence on foreign sources of energy and tapping our resources here at home. In order to move to true energy independence, we must explore the many available domestic energy resources in an environmentally-friendly manner.
I am a supporter of an “all of the above” approach to energy production, including fully developing our own sources of energy and making sure that we don’t slow down the development of new energy production with needless regulation.
