We have to get the oil where the oil is.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
The good Lord put oil and gas there for us to find and use, and we'd better do it.
We will work to bring an element of stability to the price of oil.
We need to face it, as a nation we have a reliance on petroleum.
We have to be careful because if one day the world is short of energy, it will be our responsibility. Everybody will ask Total, 'Why don't you have more oil?'
Even as we work to develop more sources of petroleum for the United States, we must continue our vigorous pursuit of alternative fuels, so that we can be powered by cleaner, more efficient sources of energy.
In energy, you have to plan and do research way in advance, sometimes decades in advance to get a new system that's safer, doesn't require us to go around the world to get all our oil.
It's a fact of life that there will be oil spills, as long as oil is moved from place to place, but we must have provisions to deal with them, and a capability that is commensurate with the size of the oil shipments.
We need a balanced, long term energy policy to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and preserve the beauty of the land we love.
We need to move away from oil, period.
