America’s dependence on foreign, often unstable parts of the world for our energy has doubled in just the past 20 years – exposing gaping vulnerabilities in our economic infrastructure, and serious security-related and geopolitical ones as well.

And thankfully, the United States is rich in domestic energy – from clean coal and traditional fuels, to the agricultural energy that will help power our world into the next generation.
