Here are 4 pieces of legislation that all work together to help support oil and energy production on our own lands.  Many of you readers know that Shell Oil Corp has said that they can produce oil from the Shale of the Rocky Mountains for about $1 a gallon.  Why not supply our own citizens with thousands of jobs in energy and reduce our support on foreign oil? Solar Panels only go so far Obama, and Cap and Trade is just another tax and regulation of Americans and American Companies.
