Our country's future hinges on whether or not we can make the transition to local, renewable energy sources now, not in some far-distant nebulous future. Our economy, infrastructure, and continued military strength require energy resources that cannot be met fast-dwindling supplies of fossil fuels.

So called "Blowout Preventers" have not been improved. This is the second anniversary of the Deep Water Horizon disaster, the worst oil spill in history, and NO SERIOUS ADVANCES in safety procedures, cleanup technology, and blow out prevention for ocean floor drilling have been made. The same insufficient technology is still being allowed that was used in 1979. Since drilling operations have expanded since 2010, industry experts say an even higher risk exists of another, perhaps worse, oil blowout. If we have learned anything, it is that oil companies cannot police themselves! Created: Apr 21, 2012 at WhiteHouse.gov Issues: Environment

The Maryland State Assembly recently failed to pass a bill for an offshore wind farm. We have a significant source of renewalbe energy, and we need to start using it as soon as possible. All obstacles become meaningless when we remember that we must stop environmental destruction or there's nothing left for any of us of any political party or persuasion, or our children. This is a way to move off of fossil fuel dependence.
