Energy:

We need to make ourselves energy independent.  We need to be rid ourselves of our dependancy on countries that we are not friends with (middle east countries/Venuzeula).  We have huge supplies of energy (coal, gas, oil) within this country. Now, with our new recovery techniques (such as fracking), it's time to garner and utilize this energy.

President Obama says that there is more drilling going on during his term than at any time in recent memory.  True, but this is in spite of him, rather than because of him.  He, and his over regulating EPA henchmen, sign fewer drilling permits than any President in recent memory.  The reason drilling has increased during his term is because the drilling is being done on private (not public) lands.

We need to fully utilize our natural resources - coal, oil, gas.  We need to build additional nuclear power pants.  We need to try to figure out a way to get nuclear fusion to work.   We need to approve the Keystone pipeline. NOTE:  The above actions will have the very important side beneifit of creating an estimated 1 million new jobs. 

If you want to see where the results of low supply and over regulation can take you, look no further than Califormia - they are currently paying an average of over $4.50 a gallon.
