To the Editor: We have everything we need in America. We have natural gas, oil, coal, solar and wind energy. We should utilize everything at our disposal to end our dependence on foreign oil. It is time to stop flooding the Middle East with money. These people hate us. Why do we buy their oil? America has enough oil. It is estimated that North Dakota has as much as 500 billion gallons of oil that is in the process of being drilled. The Marcellus shale fields of Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, and West Virginia promise more natural gas than Saudi Arabia has oil. We can run automobiles and the large trucks of America on natural gas. It's time to start using it. Automobile companies are converting some of their vehicles to operate on natural gas. Service stations across the nation must move forward with natural gas pumps. I like coal. My father was a coal miner for 30 years. He raised five kids on a coal miner's salary. We must continue to work toward burning coal cleaner, more efficiently, and environmentally safer. Coal is a powerful source of energy and we should use it. We hear reports that power plants are moving closer to burning cleaner energy. We hear other reports that power plants are moving to natural gas. Solar and wind energy are not the complete answer for power but they are a welcome part of the formula. The goal of every American should be to utilize American energy. This will create more jobs and wealth for Americans instead of sending our wealth overseas. An energy independent America will be a happier America. Cutting our entanglements with Middle Eastern oil insures a brighter future for America. Glenn Mollette Newburgh, Indiana |
