Why America Needs A Domestic Energy Policy That Works

Today, Saudi Arabia announced it had arrested 113 Al Qaeda militants. Their targets included energy facilities in Saudi Arabia.

This is another poignant sign of why we need to have nuclear power, domestic drilling and wind power as major sources of energy in America. If the attacks had succeeded, it would probably have hurt us both monetarily and in relations with Saudi Arabia, as its citizens may have blamed America for the attack. Deregulating the American energy sector, and allowing innovative efficiency to take hold, would do a great deal in stopping Al Qaeda and preventing the kinds of economic disruptions a successful attack of this type would have today.
