Americas Independent Energy Future

More than 30 years after President Carter called for energy independence, America continues

to rely heavily on foreign sources of oil. There is little debate that America must become less

dependent on foreign oil, but this goal will be impossible without a commitment to alternative

sources of energy and investment in clean coal technologies, oil shale development, on-shore

and off-shore oil and natural gas exploration and drilling, and coal.

The United States national debt is now more than $13 trillion with an additional $1 trillion in

budget deficits further deepening that debt for the foreseeable future. Americans are once

again awakening to the danger chronic deficits pose not only to our national security but the

long-term viability of our Republic. The federal governments fiscal mismanagement is no long

just a problem for Washington. Gubernatorial candidates in 2010 will preside over budgets in

2011 and 2012 depleted of stimulus dollars and in need of more revenue or sharp budget cuts

The states are at a crossroads and will have no choice but to take drastic action in the years

ahead to stay on firm fiscal ground.
