"We’d make more efficient use of existing resources by home-shoring our energy sector. Every substitution of locally generated electricity for imported stinky fuel helps support local jobs, and shores up the supply chain in the electricity sector.

A far healthier alternative to sending billions and billions of hard-won foreign exchange dollars offshore, year after year, to keep Middle Eastern princes in gold taps and bone-saws."
