The purpose and intent of this website/blog is to create a platform for addressing the critical need to dialogue about the future of energy production and use in the United States. As outlined on the pages of this website (which I encourage you to read), I am extremely concerned about ill-advised schemes that have been recently proposed by others, including representatives of the U.S. Congress, for among other things the production and use of energy in our country. Of course, as I have written, the grand prize for such schemes goes to The Green New Deal, although I must admit I have not yet digested the recent proposal called The Blue New Deal. Considering its source, I suspect it may rival The Green New Deal for absurdity. My hope is that we can move beyond such schemes and apply some common sense to the energy discussion.

I must also state that, as the greatest country in the world, it is particularly frustrating that we do not seem to be able to come to a common sense, yet potentially revolutionary, long-term energy policy or strategy. Many of us are concerned about the environmental impacts resulting from our energy production and use, and in fact, the zealots are more than willing to lay much of the blame for their global warming assertions on us without regard for the destruction of our economy in the process. This insanity has to be cured by a strategy that cements our energy leadership role in the world, preserves our way of life, and creates a sensible energy future that will prevail for many generations.

I invite your comments and input.
