Energy/Environment

Touring Upriver Dam in Spokane.

The United States is blessed with tremendous energy resources – including the greatest resource of all: The ingenuity of the free American mind.  And yet this year, we as a nation are expected to import $500 billion of foreign energy.  Instead of borrowing money from China to buy oil from Saudi Arabia, we should keep those energy dollars here in America for American jobs.

We need a bold, comprehensive energy plan for the 21^st century.  And the basic principle of that plan should be “more of everything.”   We need more oil.  More natural gas.  More nuclear power.  More hydropower.  More alternative energies, such as solar, wind, and biofuels.  And more energy research.

By investing in American energy and reducing our dangerous dependence on foreign oil, we can lower energy prices and retake control of our economic destiny.
