He says a majority of the United States’ military power goes to securing our oil interests overseas. “We’re talking numbers of aircraft carriers, air wings, and a lot of boots on the ground still in Iraq. So, the total dedication of money to keeping the oil lines of communication open, very high.”

Energizing America
June 15, 2010
Tonight, President Obama is addressing the nation from the Oval Office regarding the BP oil spill and America’s response. While the focus of the speech is rightfully going to be BP and the immediate response to the crisis in the Gulf, the tragedy also has brought attention to the true cost of America’s dependence on fossil fuels and the need for a national energy strategy. A sustainable approach to energy that invests in securing clean energy and combating climate change makes America a more secure and powerful nation. American business leaders recognize this and in growing numbers support a comprehensive energy strategy from the government to spark innovation in energy technology that will be a boost to our economy – as well as our security and global influence. As Bill Gates said this past weekend, “the government has to prime the pump here.” Conservatives who choose political posturing over constructive action are putting themselves at odds with business, military and science leaders – not the way to get out of the mess we’re in.
