So I just read an article that quoted Trumps two sentences on energy from last nights speech.
"We have ended the war on American energy ? and we have ended the war on beautiful clean coal. We are now an exporter of energy to the world,"
Without starting an argument or name calling, what do you think about the US and energy? Should we be exporting energy now just because we can? Or should we be deferring some drilling and coal mining so as to produce just enough to replace imports? Should we be hoarding the rest for the day somewhere down the road when our demands are higher than what we can produce and are forced back into being slaves to groups like OPEC? It's a balance I suppose. On one hand there are jobs and money to be made. On the other hand there may be some of our natural resources and environment could be conserved or preserved for a time when the US needs it more to maintain energy independence.
Thoughts?
