doesn't anyone talk about this?
Qatar is a tiny spit of a nation, a little thumb of desert land protruding off the east coast of Saudi Arabia. One generation ago, citizens of Qatar lived in tents, rode around on camels and struggled to subside.
Qatar has a skyline of spectacular, modern buildings and more are going up every day. What happened in Qatar?
It was discovered that Qatar is sitting atop a huge deposit of natural gas. With no green concerns, Qatar busted their butts to retrieve their natural gas and develop a way to market this asset. The results are nearly unbelievable!
Meanwhile, in America, where natural gas deposits are immeasurably larger than those under Qatar, where oil is more plentiful than in Saudi Arabia, and coal reserves are by far the greatest in the world... our infrastructure is crumbling. Americans are out of work in unprecedented numbers, our national debt is staggering.
Pundits fuss that more drilling would not lower the price of gas at the pump. Who cares? Follow the Qatar plan... put people to work! Produce coal, oil, natural gas and sell it on the world market. It is the way to pay off the debt, reduce unemployment, bring our standard of living back up where it belongs!
And, just as important, making America energy independent once more will make America more secure.
Why isn't anyone shouting about this? Are they afraid of environmentalists? Are they afraid of the green lawyers? Do people actually want to see America decline? Where is the leader who will take this bull by the horns?
