Crude Energy Policy

There was a time we were independent, exporting energy out to the world. Natural gas helped make us ascendant, before the energy plan was unfurled. Clean coal is indeed oxymoronic, but our technology, better than most. Nuclear probably is the world's tonic; solar won't get you a night on the coast. Shutting down pipelines, pleading with Saudis, suspending drilling on government land… With these pump prices, I'm getting rowdy; time for the little guy to make a stand. Putin? Darned tootin', he is an *ss hat, but when I let loose, well, "Biden did that!" ---------- I'm driving the truck as little as possible these days, but $90 for half a tank of diesel is enough to bring out a bit of a rant...
