Coal, Gas And Oil

     We have got to a point where this nation can provide all the energy we need. As a nation we did not need any outside sources for energy. So why mess this up. 
     The people that have a trust fund for an income decided that this is a wrong way to do things. Look at what the oil and gas thing done for the economy of poor states. 
     Well for the most part these people never hit a lick in their life. They are living off people that invented the atomic bomb or something like that and are now telling us how to live. They want us to put up with their lifestyle and be mean to wage earners. While they go along at their own pace. Living off the wealth of their beneficiaries. Driving cars, flying in planes, using electricity and being very picky about what they want. 
     Over the last few years technology has came up with a way to get oil from a very difficult situation. We can get all the natural gas we could ever need. There is still plenty of coal. People that extract these resources get paid. They buy things. They support their own families. They are not on welfare. 
     These bulk products need to be transported to the ultimate locations were they can be put to use. Now the railroad workers have a job. Equipment that has been sitting idle is being used. People are working. Buying homes. Buying products. 
     Coal, gas and oil can all be used to provide the energy we need for the lifestyle we have came accustomed to. For everyone, not just the rich. Burning coal for electric power generation has never been cleaner. Coal can also be converted to gasoline, diesel, and kerosene. To power automobiles, ships, planes and all other gasoline devises. 
     Natural gas can be used to generate electricity, power internal combustion engines, heat homes, provide heat for cooking and heating water. And it burns clean. Another win win situation. At one time they were even talking about exporting the gas. At the same time there was a shortage of gas to heat homes. What is wrong with this picture? At this point in time there should not be any shortage of gas for home use. Period!
     Then we have oil. After it is extracted it can be used to make fuel in the shortest and easiest fashion. Although not automatically. It does have to go to a refinery. Oil is used to make a lot of the plastics we use. And we use a lot of plastic. 
     All the above mentioned industries also create a ripple effect on the economies where they are. People that work in food, hospitality, service, health and other industries also benefit. Did I forget retail? 
     Everybody benefits from a good economy. If you are willing to put forth an effort and work. Be nice to people. 
     The other day I ran into someone who was criticizing the American Way. I told them if it is so bad how come so many people come from other places to be here? I had to add that if it is so bad the plane that brought you here will take you back to where you came from.
