We have all heard the mantra, “Drill Baby, Drill”, well it would seem that on the surface this would make some sense in order to establish more domestic oil resources in the short term. However, no one believes this is a long term solution.
Thomas Friedmans’ new book “The Power of Green” offers up a clear and concise challenge to all Americans. Rise up, rise up and meet the next revolution, Energy Technology.
In order to re-establish the United States as the global leader and the world’s only superpower we must embrace this challenge and succeed. Nothing is more imperative than to establish energy independence through innovation and technology in our generation. Think of all the positive results that would happen if we accomplish this call to arms, if you will.
Cellulosic Ethanol is a potential bridge to that goal of energy independence, but it is one of many options and none of these options should be taken off the table or discounted as inefficient. We must continue to encourage and support the businesses, industries and yes patriots that invest valuable amounts of time, and money to this cause. Failure is not an option nor should it be considered.
