Issues: Energy Environment
Why are gas prices as high as they are? Because the government prohibits us from accessing the natural resources that we have available within our own country, from exploration of oil and natural gas to the vast oil shale reserves in the Rocky Mountains to wind, solar and the development of other alternatives. If the financial markets and the rest of the world thought we were really serious about tapping into all of our own natural resources, the futures price of oil would drop substantially -- and so would our pain at the pump.
