Danny Tarkanian: Energy independence by drawing from all energy sources

Complete energy independence must be the primary goal for the United States to secure both our energy and economic future. We must remove our dependence on foreign oil from hostile countries and to do that we need to broaden our approach to meet our energy demands. We will not be able to advance as a country by searching for a lone energy source to sustain us, but rather we must draw from all energy sources. We must make use of clean energy sources like natural gas and nuclear, while opening the door to our domestic fuel resources to create a balanced path that will establish our energy independence. The U.S. possesses all of the natural resources needed to accomplish this goal, and Nevada could become the center for many energy source developments.
