We need to become energy independent or at least aspire to that.

We need American sources of resources, we need American energy, brought to you by American ingenuity and produced by American workers.

The more energy-efficient we become as a nation, the less we need to develop additional energy sources.

Let's make sure we're doing what we can in our own backyard to gain our energy independence and to create American jobs with American energy.

The problem is not that America does not have energy. The problem is that our government - alone among the governments of the world - will not allow its own people to recover the energy that they possess.

The one thing that the President can do is to establish a real energy independence plan. We have all the recources we need right here in this country to establish energy independence if we had the leadership.

Let's stop big government energy mandates like cap-and-trade, and instead trust the American innovator to make us energy independent.

We need to forge a whole new energy and American Dream.

The Nation needs to take a new approach to our energy problems.

First, by 2020, North America will be energy independent by taking full advantage of our oil and coal and gas and nuclear and renewables.
