...America needs to break its addiction to foreign oil. When President Bush came into office the price of gas was $1.45 a gallon. It’s now closing in on $4 a gallon.
We are being fleeced by greedy oil companies earning record profits and even greedier oil sheiks who are holding America hostage. We need to invest in new energy technologies, bio fuels, wind and conservation to make America energy independent. It won’t happen overnight, but it is cheaper to invest in tomorrow’s energy than guard oil fields in the Middle East. The road to energy independence starts now and it must be a priority for America to remain strong....
For a more expanded plan, Kilroy has an additional page that covers reducing emissions, efficiency, new sources, the green economy, and the results of these energy plans.
Republican Steve Stivers, a former bank lobbyist, has received political contributions from oil and gas concerns, according to Open Secrets.
The energy plan proposed by Republican candidate Stivers, was published on NBC4i.com:
....Stivers' plan calls for creating a petroleum administration for a security director who reports directly to the president.
The director would oversee domestic supply and refining solely for use for the U.S. market to fill the strategic reserve.
Stivers' plan would also implement a $100 billion, 10-year plan, primarily for energy research and development.
**** Stivers supports continuing the endless war in Iraq which is costing us billions and billions of dollars. Where does Stivers think he can get $100 billion? Will he cut it from road construction, law enforcement, or the FDA (Food and Drug Administration)? Stivers has an energy plan that actually expands the government bureaucracy. It just won't work.
