What is going to happen when China really gets ramped up industrially? We need our own resources. We never relied on outside sources to support us before why do so now. We can also quit giving terrorist our money to attack us with. We should have started doing these things last year. What is going to happen when China really gets ramped up industrially?

Drill now, clean coal convertion for diesel and alternitive energy. Yes that's right. Do all the above at the same time, NOW.

Jefferson County serves as a hub for UPS and TWO Ford truck plants. These companies rely on affordable fuel to meet their profit goals and provide tens of thousands of jobs. The rising cost of fuel threatens every single one of those jobs. Last time I looked, no corporation had proposed replacing those jobs with a wind farm, hydrogen fuel cell plant, or ethanol refinery. Standing in the way of letting states decide for themselves how to use their resources is indefensible. Dead on accurate.
