Coal and oil, especially fuel oil, diesel and gasoline, are the primary source of our pollution and contamination world wide. The number one user of energy in the world is the United States, however we are being challenged by China and India as these emerging economies...backed by populations of more than 1.3 Billion each... are challenging America's use of fuel resources and are both polluting at an ever increasing rate.
China and India, along with Russia, have the most polluted cities in today's world, and these economic engines are not looking to delay their growth just because of some pollution here or there.
American, however, lacks one of their keys for future success. We do not have a meaningful National Energy Policy ... America, with its short range focus, has failed to understand that we need to harness the resources that we have under our control while we put together the alternative energy tools that we need to create and employ for a truly bright future.
First step: Establish a National Energy Policy.
Next step: put the focus on our American energy Resources...Natural Gas, Oil reserves on land and at sea, Coal...especially clean coal innovations...
Then engage our Universities and Industry to find new sources of energy that produce effectively at a cost efficiency that exceeds expectations.
And at the same time...raise the bar for Water, Air and Land based EPA regulations for limiting pollution and chemical contamination.
Raise the Bar...for success tomorrow.
