With unemployment at 14.5% you would think Conservatives will wake up to unleashing carbon entrepreneurs across the I.E. However their sight is blinded by their dogmatic view that 19th Century technology of coal mining and offshore drilling will be the panacea to all our energy problems. With "Drill Baby Drill" as their mantra, this mentality will keep the unemployment rate where it is while rendering us to the technological Dark Ages. We as Progressives need to make the case that in order to develop and maintain a competitive edge in the 21st Century and provide jobs to relieve unemployment, we have to have a national energy policy in place to keep America economically secure at home and nationally secure abroad.
