We've lost our energy independence as a nation, and our country is running on empty.  Instead of relying on our fellow American workers to supply our gas and oil, we are dependent on tyrants in Iran and Venezuela.

We can fix this.  We must fix this.  We cannot have our seniors freezing in their homes next winter, struggling to pay their home heating bills.

We must admit that the current policies are not working and increase our own domestic oil and natural gas production.  We must tap into sources like our drilled but uncompleted wells and get the domestic supply back into the market.
Additionally, to work towards a healthier environment, we can walk and chew gum at the same time by incorporating properly sited renewable energy projects into the mix.  Think of solar on brownfields – like what we did at the old Capuano landfill in Cranston – and atop school buildings like we did at Cranston West.  We can continue to promote the modernization and electrification of elements at the Port of Galilee.  We can do more than one thing at a time, and we can become energy independent once again!
