…now a central issue in the Romney campaign.
This is sure to make the liberal tree hugger’s heads explode.
I’d keep hammering away at the failed green jobs initiatives that the SCOAMF has been pushing from day one. Easy pickings.
I say, drill here, drill now, drill everywhere.
Romney to declare goal of North American energy independence by 2020
Steve Holland
LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas (Reuters) – Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will lay out policies on Thursday aimed at achieving North American energy independence by 2020 by pursuing a sharp increase in production of oil and natural gas on federal lands and off the U.S. coast.
Romney is to unveil his plan at a truck and supply business in Hobbs, New Mexico, as he seeks to draw a sharp contrast between his energy policies and those of President Barack Obama and detail in part how he would rekindle job growth in the United States.
His emphasis on the economy amounts to an effort to return the campaign to the central issue Romney believes is most critical in the November 6 election and the key to a victory for him.The economic debate has to a certain extent been sidelined in recent days by controversial remarks about rape by a Senate Republican candidate in Missouri, Todd Akin, who Romney has denounced.
