If Russia wants to use energy as a weapon against our friends and allies, let's use our resources to set them free.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Vladimir Putin uses energy to hold our allies hostage. If energy is going to be used as a weapon, I say America must have the largest arsenal.
We need to reduce our dependence on foreign sources of energy.
They need to be re-supplied with energy, and that energy comes from asking not what your country can do for you, but from what you can do for your country.
We already get more energy from Canada than from any other foreign country.
We need to break our dependency on foreign sources of oil, which leaves us at the mercy of foreign powers. To do that, we should increase domestic energy production.
We waste an awful lot of energy as a Nation through inefficient use of energy.
It's Russia some people would like to get rid of. They are still afraid of our nuclear deterrent. We have our own foreign policy whether they like it or not.
If we drill the hell out of everything, including protected public lands and fragile regions like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, America can emerge as an 'energy superpower.'
I have no doubt that Russia will and should remain a major source of energy supplies for Europe and the world.
I have never stated Russia is an energy superpower, but we have more reserves than almost anybody else. We have always behaved, and we will continue to behave, in a responsible way. We intend to participate in the elaboration of common rules in the energy sector and to abide by rules which are developed together.
