Roger Williams on Energy & Oil

 


Explore & produce our own American energy supplies

We are all seeing the growing instability of the Middle East. We cannot continue to send billions of dollars overseas to unstable foreign nations who are threatened by Islamic radicals. Before it is too late, our nation must embark on a "Manhattan Project" to explore, produce, and technologically advance our own American energy supplies. This is simply a matter of national security and the continued survival of our nation.
