Giuliani: America needs to become energy independent
-- Mike -- 07/26/2007
Rudy Giuliani had an op/ed titled "Leading America Toward Energy Independence" published today on the political website RealClearPolitics.com. The former mayor's energy policy is part of his recently announced "12 Commitments to America."
Giuliani says that achieving energy independence "will require expanding our reliance on a much more diverse range of energy sources that America can control," including ethanol and other bio-fuels, nuclear power, coal, solar power, wind power and hydro-power. On coal, specifically, Giuliani writes:
"America has more coal than Saudi Arabia has oil. If we can compete and make cost effective the process of carbon sequestration, clean coal, we can rely on coal to a much larger extent. And we can rely on it without harming the environment."
