Citizens see a minimal increase in the cost of gas, we fix our roads and bridges and significantly pay down our national debt whilst forcing foreign suppliers to compete in other markets.
Think about how that would positively impact US jobs and international balance of trade, not to mention economically diminishing OPEC and terrorist funding countries who hate us.
Lets let go of political correctness and climate change for a moment and do something practical and simple for our country and its people...
What gets me is, awhile back everyone was jumpin' up and down about peak oil. We were running out fast. What happened there? You don't hear a word about that anymore. Probably just another made up scare tactic by government (their MO) to have an excuse to raise oil prices.
I believe most, if not everything government tells us is lies, lies, lies.
