Joe Arwood on Energy & Oil

Drilling is not enough; more oil refineries too
Drilling alone is not enough. We need a multi-faceted approach to tackling our energy crisis. We must streamline the process for building new refineries. The US has not built a new refinery in three decades and as a result,
have become increasingly dependent on foreign sources of refined petroleum. The construction of new refineries and pipelines would help create thousands of new jobs here in our country.

Tap into tremendous untapped supply of oil and natural-gas
North America is home to a tremendous untapped supply of oil and natural-gas, but we aren't allowed to touch a vast majority of it because Congress has made it illegal. In the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the Outer Continental Shelf, and the
Intermountain West, we have more oil under our ground than all Middle East countries combined.
We must tap into these tremendous sources of energy in an environmentally-sound manner, but Congress would rather have us pay other countries and dictators who are hostile to our country's best interests. Relying on foreign providers of oil is
a threat to our domestic security and a threat to our economy that we can no longer live with. We The People, must take control of our energy independence and security.
