The shortest path to more American jobs is more American energy and more jobs that relate to American energy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I understand that in some industries, the input cost of energy is a major factor in whether an industry is going to locate in the United States or go elsewhere.
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.
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.
Americans are paying for our lack of an energy policy with their jobs and out of their pocketbooks.
Delayed energy projects and regulatory hurdles to domestic oil production not only cost the United States economy billions of dollars and millions of jobs, but they also stand in the way of an elusive goal: true American energy security.
Right now, every American is affected by high energy prices. Working families, small businesses and consumers across the country are feeling the pinch with no end in sight.
The notion that moving toward renewable energy will kill jobs is an absurdity on its face. The notion that we have to live smaller lifestyles; not have the American way of life or give up the American Dream is just ridiculous. It is the opposite of the case; a new energy paradigm will create opportunity.
The more that energy costs, the less economic activity there can be.
When you increase the cost of energy, jobs go elsewhere.
