This is really just a follow up to the blog I posted yesterday, “Why Indeed?” Consider America without those ardent, anti-humanity, Anti-American special interest “green” ecology groups that have sprouted up all around the country over the past 30 years. Have you noticed that many of the founders of the largest green groups just happen to be very rich, extremely liberally opinionated, and almost always preaching the “green” that they want to see the rest of America (and the world’s) population being strictly held to, while they themselves are the biggest two-faced hypocrites on the face of the planet. They tend to own huge homes that are much larger than is actually needed for their family size. They tend to own multiple such homes around the country, if not the world. They travel by personal jet, yachts, and large SUV’s.

   Yet they think nothing of wiping out entire industries placing tens of thousands of people in the unemployment office, as we saw occur in the Pacific Northwest logging industry. Let’s just take a look at THE supreme guru of today’s “green” movement today, shall we?

   Al Gore, a man who has managed to win an Oscar, a Grammy and the Nobel Peace Prize, for his film “An Inconvenient Truth,” and who has managed to accumulate an estimated $100 million dollars over the past decade, also managed, according to the “Tennessee Center for Policy Research,” in a report dated June 17, 2008, that Al’s personal home consumption was an amazing 213, 210 kilowatt-hours of electricity over the course of just one year! That’s as much energy as is consumed by an “average” 232 homes per month. According to the report, Al’s annual electric bill was more than $16, 553. As I have always said, “Actions speak louder than words.” In Al’s case, you do have to wonder how much he really believes in the “green” of “saving the environment” or how much is all about the “green” of building his personal fortune.

   Now imagine this, a United States of America that tapped into its own vast oil resources of much more than just the two trillion, five hundred billion barrels of oil believed to exist in just the Bakken and Rocky Mountain areas of our country. Our own natural abundance of more than 300 years worth of oil that would create more TRILLIONS of dollars for the American economy than any human mind can truly fathom. What if America utilized its other natural resources such as the trillions and trillions of cubic feet of natural gas, and yes even nuclear resources as additional power sources.

   Think of the immense boon this would have on the American economy and its people. Unemployment would be unheard of, except for those who simply refuse to work. Think how this should almost eliminate the term “low income,” while significantly raising the standards of “middle income.” Gone would be national and state deficits. Our infrastructure would be easily rebuilt and expanded. Rolling power outages would become a distant memory. Neglected bridges collapsing and killing unsuspecting Americans? Just another footnote in history. The additional millions of jobs created for decades into the future, due to this national infrastructure rebirth of roads, bridges, power, sewer, water, affordable universities, and many, many other systems which would easily ensure our nations future for at least the next hundred years.

Modern medical facilities where everyone could afford excellent medical, dental and vision care for the entire family. Homelessness, poverty, hunger, and persons with mental disorders would all be able to be dealt with humanely and safely. Elderly people on fixed incomes having to choose between food or heating oil for their homes, gone. At an estimated $16 dollars per barrel of oil, they would be able to afford both along with the electricity to enjoy air conditioning! The difference that simply allowing American’s to utilize the enormous natural resources would not only make this vision possible, but make it a reality. Don't believe me? Just take a look at what Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E., are currently doing with the hundreds of billions of dollars they are raking in from the sale of their oil. 

   We can either continue to expend $700 billion to foreign countries in the hostile Middle East and South America until we are as poor as Ethiopia, and even less respected on the world stage, or we can ensure our future for centuries yet to come.  It just makes no sense!
