Senator Ken Cuccinelli lays our energy woes on the table. Elections in the years ahead should be about energy. Americans who don't like being bankrupted to pay high prices at the pump should elect candidates who will work to increase domestic production and unlock the resources we have available to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
"In addition to supporting increasing our at-home production of petroleum and natural gas, including in Virginia, I also strongly support moving ahead with more nuclear power in Virginia.
We haven’t built a new oil refinery in America since the 1970s and we haven’t built a new nuclear reactor since Three Mile Island (that was 1979 for those of you that might not remember that far back). You can thank your local environmental extremist for these two particular “streaks.” Maybe they’d like you to congratulate them?We need to elevate the political importance of this issue in elections (as Jim Gilmore is doing), and that means votes should move on the rationality or lack thereof in candidates’ energy positions...
We can’t ignore the laws of supply and demand, we might as well try to outlaw gravity... Additionally, who do you think is getting your $4 per gallon? Hint: it’s not the guy running the service station…"
