Historically, we have lived in a nation of energy dependence. Dependence on others for our heating and electricity, and for our fuel for transportation.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Today, we're very dependent on cheap energy. We just take it for granted - all the things you have in the house, the way industry works.
As a state we are so uniquely positioned in so many ways. Our geography, our placement in the country, and our history positions us to be the state that propels energy efficiency as an industry.
We must develop energy independence; we must Make It In America.
We are all part of the same energy that envelops.
We need to reduce our dependence on foreign sources of energy.
Most of the well-developed world - Australia, Western Europe - they develop their resources base, they inventory it, they develop it, and they view it as a good source of jobs and revenue. We are a country that for too long has taken affordable energy for granted.
The more energy-efficient we become as a nation, the less we need to develop additional energy sources.
We have more natural resources - coal, oil, wind - across the board not only to be energy independent but to be a leading exporter.
However, it may occur that we will find ourselves using a variety of fuel sources to give us the energy we need support our lifestyles and boost our economy.
Every day we are paying more for energy than we should due to poor insulation, inefficient lights, appliances, and heating and cooling equipment - money we could save by investing in energy efficiency.
