Common sense at its best, right here. Common sense--and fearless.

Response to Vice President Biden's Comments Today About My Position On Energy Independence
As
the vice president knows, I have always advocated an all-of-the-above
approach to American energy independence. Among other things, my
alternative energy goal for Alaska sits at 50 percent because Alaska
reached more than 20 percent during my term in office. The Obama-Biden
administration, on the other hand, recently announced a renewable goal
of only 25 percent. However, domestic drilling should remain a top
priority in order to meet America’s consumption and security needs.
The
vice president’s extreme opposition to domestic energy development goes
all the way back to 1973 when he opposed the Alaska pipeline bill. As
Ann Coulter pointed out, “Biden cast one of only five votes against the
pipeline that has produced more than 15 billion barrels of oil,
supplied nearly 20 percent of this nation’s oil, created tens of
thousands of jobs, added hundreds of billions of dollars to the U.S.
economy and reduced money transfers to the nation’s enemies by about
the same amount.”
This nonsensical opposition to American
domestic energy development continues to this day. Apparently the
Obama-Biden administration only approves of offshore drilling in
Brazil, where it will provide security and jobs for Brazilians. This
election is about American security and American jobs.
There’s
one way to tell Vice President Biden that we’re tired of folks in
Washington distorting our message and hampering our nation’s progress:
Hoffman, Baby, Hoffman!
