Energy Surplus, Intelligence Shortage

The greatest scam ever perpetrated against the American taxpayer (bigger even than the global warming hoax) is the idea that there is an energy shortage in this country. We have enough coal to meet our demands for at least a thousand years, enough uranium to meet all of our electrical needs for even longer, and enough oil in the gulf, offshore, in ANWR, and in oil shale to eliminate any need for middle eastern oil imports for many decades. We have abundant supplies of energy. Unfortunately, we also have an abundant supply of idiots, and many of them are in Congress. The Democratic party (where most of the idiots congregate) is completely subservient to the environmental extremist lobby. So, they prevent us from drilling for oil. They block the construction of refineries. They prohibit the use of coal, and oppose building nuclear plants. They even oppose hydroelectric power, the cleanest energy source possible. The only sources of energy they support are those that don't exist, aren't cost effective, and can't meet out needs. Which is really the point, they don't want to meet our needs. They want us to do with less, to live like the third world. There is no shortage of energy in this country, just a shortage of intelligence.
