Dems Forcing America To Commit Energy Suicide

This is unbelievable:
Facts I bet you did not know:
The United States has largest energy reserves on Earth, according to a report from the Congressional Research Service.
As shown in the charts below, the U.S. has 1,321 billion barrels of oil (or barrels of oil equivalent for other sources of energy) when combining its recoverable natural gas, oil and coal reserves.
While Russia is a close second with 1,248 billion barrels, other energy producing nations are far behind. No. 3 is Saudi Arabia (543 billion barrels), followed by China (494 billion barrels), Iran (426 billion barrels) and Canada (221 billion barrels.)
This is really impressive stuff. Now here’s the thing — according to the article, “The report also noted that the United States has 28% of all the world’s coal reserves, with Russia again coming in second with 19%.” But Barack Obama is opposed to further use of coal. He is also opposed to greater use of our oil and natural gas reserves.
So we have all this stuff and our government does not want us to use it. Elections matter.
Reminder:




And:
Over the past 30 years:
Democrats have blocked the development of new sources of petroleum.
Democrats have blocked drilling in ANWR.
Democrats have blocked drilling off the coast of Florida.
Democrats have blocked drilling off of the east coast.
Democrats have blocked drilling off of the west coast.
Democrats have blocked drilling off the Alaskan coast.
Democrats have blocked building oil refineries.
Democrats have blocked clean nuclear energy production.
Democrats have blocked clean coal production.
Bottom line: the U.S. is flush with natural resources that can provide untold amounts of energy, has the best technology in the world to obtain it with minimal environmental 'damage' or destruction, and the liberal Leftists in charge are deliberately making it harder and more expensive to get it.



Remember this when you're in the voting booth next time.


There's my two cents.
