Bo Heyward on Energy & Oil

Tap our own resources and build more refineries

We have got to quit buying oil from the middle east, period. We are basically funding countries that harbor terrorism which makes zero sense to me. Now, while I am in favor of developing alternate sources of energy, we have to look at things realistically. We need to get started on something and get started right now. I feel we should tap our own resources and build more refineries, because what happens if fifteen years down the road there hasn't been any other forms of energy developed?
