All types of energy sources needed
Dan Seals' one hour $1.85 per gallon gas give away May 22nd was short lived, helped very few and relied on rationing.
Mr. Seal's promo was typical of Democrat ideas which are about grandstanding, big talk slamming business and plenty of sympathy but containing no lasting solutions.
This is not the answer for America's energy needs. Developing alternative fuels will take much time and research and development money. In order to make this investment America needs a strong economy which in turn needs energy now.
We have modern technology available to minimize the impact of oil and gas exploration and recovery as well as safe operation of nuclear power plants. We should do our own energy "dirty work" here where our environmental standards apply and not rely on third world countries which can not afford protective standards.
More finger pointing at innumerable congressional hearings achieves nothing. The real-world solution is developing all types of energy sources, traditional as well as green, along with prudent conservation. America must get back to work!
