Energy resources are in our backyard

As a twice wounded veteran, I feel strongly about our nation’s energy security. Our government continues to apply an astronomical amount of resources to maintain and secure access to Middle East fuel sources. These countries are unstable and our dependence on them puts our national security and our energy future in jeopardy. The U.S. cannot continue down this path. With rising gas prices and the demand for energy growing every day, we must maximize opportunities to establish energy corridors with friendly neighbors in our own hemisphere.
