Tell the Obama Administration We Need Greater Energy Security and Lower Fuel Prices

An interesting post from http://consumerenergyalliance.org/ to tell Barack Obama that we NEED to drill domestically!. This follows this previous post about domestic oil drilling. This follows this post  about a creative solution to Gulf drilling and this previous article about the recent news about the ban on offshore drilling to encourage American energy independence This is a key issue to prevent money from going to hostile countries such as Iran and Venezuela.

Tell the Obama Administration We Need Greater Energy Security and Lower Fuel Prices


In the face of rising prices at the fuel pump and global events that threaten our oil supply, Americans have a unique opportunity to take action. The Keystone XL pipeline, which will carry oil from our ally Canada to Gulf Coast refineries, will mean greater national security, a stable fuel supply, and economic growth in the US. However, the project must be approved by the Department of State before construction can begin. Unfortunately, instead of approving the project on its merits, the Obama Administration continues to stall.



If the Obama Administration decides not to grant the Presidential Permit, Americans will continue to be at the mercy of oil-producing countries like Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. It will also mean that we’ll continue to pay more at the pump. For more information on the benefits of Keystone XL, click here.



Take Action:



The State Department is currently seeking public input on the pipeline’s Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement. Please write Secretary Clinton and tell the Obama Administration that Americans want more energy security and lower fuel prices – not the other way around. The comment period closes June 6, 2011.
