Should President Obama Push Energy Exploration?
From Arizona Daily Star
By Karen A. Harbert
Can increasing American energy exploration improve our economy? Yes, but more to the point, it’s already happening.
Energy – and the jobs and growth it will drive – is the foundation for our economic recovery.
Our nation is blessed with some of the most abundant energy resources on Earth. Thanks in large part to the technology-driven shale boom, we have enough natural gas to power America for 120 years.
We also have at least 200 years of oil under our lands and off our shores and more than 250 years of coal. And that’s just what we can recover with today’s technology. With continued advancements, we will be able to access even greater domestic supplies.
