YouTube Town Hall: Senator Lugar Emphasizes Importance of Domestic Energy and Innovation

[mba2ceo]

I have an idea - pimp more !!! Easily done ... Energy policy is a scam.

[jesusantoniogb]

i think i'll leave my vote on blank.

Both of this people suck and they all just talk about oil.

[socialambiguity]

"I will continue to work with other like-minded legislators..."

Way to drop the ball there Lugar! So, you are not likely to work with people who have ideas that differ from your own? Doesn't sound very democratic to me. Despite this flaw of yours, I am open to listening and debating with you. Of course, I will keep saying "you are wrong" but at least we will be democratic about it.

[socialambiguity]

There is no such thing as clean and responsible way to use such a terribly finite resources, some of which has already peaked or has proven be be disastrous,

Find more domestic oil resources: Fracking anyone? I sure like to drink poisonous tap water.

Improve International Cooperation: You just went out there and said it. America demands cooperation folks! No, you other counties do not have an opinion and if you do not cooperate with our dependency on oil we will WAR ALL OVER YOUR FACE!!

[radkins0773]

Please - Stop IT!!

[TheFunnyQQ]

Notice he is pushing Oil & coal? How's that for innovation?

[TheFunnyQQ]

Just sad. Efficiency is great, but ALL transportation should be transitioning to natural gas, hydrogen and battery. Every truck that currently moves products with diesel should be converting to natural gas NOW. China is eating our lunch MANUFACTURING turbines that could be used for wind, wave, hydro and geothermal. We have a large country that has many sources that can be tapped. Our grid is inefficient and could be job laying cable upgrading it from the 1950's! The Sun Belt, Solar, DUH!

[tranquility4all]

Hey Dick. We have an unlimited source of Energy. Take a look at the SUN. Guess What ? There's more. Ever hear of Wind Power ?

[DathanielTDK]

Domestic Energy in the eyes of these self-important assclowns translates to what exactly? Oh yeah! Drill Baby, Drill! Yeah, drill a hole in your head and let the stupid out, you frickin' louse! Stop thinking about ways to make Big Oil more rich and start thinking about alternative energy sources before you screw us all.

[M14Mann]

@Jake91S Finish What? Taking up where Bush left off. Oh I'm sorry he's got a D by his name so now, all of his Bush on Steroids programs he's expanded on, are all right now.

[pugh3499]

@M14Mann Exactly

[notagoodsitrep]

How about you stop making youtube videos and pass the budget bill? If I did this at my job while I had something critical to do, I would be fired.

[soulshakedown909]

Didn't we try this whole senate thing before in Rome? What happened the last time? Some Donkeys still believe...

[notagoodsitrep]

@soulshakedown909 Your argument makes no sense. Give up democracy for dictatorship? Honkey, please......

[soulshakedown909]

@notagoodsitrep

i take offense to the "honkey" bit.

Who said give up anything for anything? Preconditioning has you stuck on their only being either/or.

but that's on you....good luck with that!

[notagoodsitrep]

@soulshakedown909 What preconditioning, (insert epithet here)?

PS I be trollin.

[todocambiara2]

YOU ARE OLD. WHY ARE YOU A LEADER?

[DakotaWRS3]

There is no Constitutional authorization for the Federal Government to be involved in energy. Senator Lugad is in violation of his Oath of Office to protect and defend the Constitution and is a traitor.

[gb696]

@DakotaWRS3 It can be construed as a part of National Defense, especially with its use in the Armed Forces.

[DakotaWRS3]

@gb696 It cannot be so construed under the Tenth Amendment.

[gb696]

@DakotaWRS3 They did it with the highway system, and its not exactly like it turned out bad for us. Yet again it does have military application with tanks and other military vehicles.

[IIBEZII]

How about you shut down the federal reserve and take back the production of our currency from them, then work on keeping anyone with any affiliation to or with the Bilderberg group from holding any kind of public/political office. Finally show the American people the law that says they are to pay a federal income tax. Then maybe people might not automatically assume all politicians are full of shit and not to be trusted.

[torodi1995]

like this if your leaning on your left albow or your legs are crossed ;)

[tashenaevers]

corn?,,really..lord we are so stupid,,

[Gh3ttoman]

Ron paul?

[anipz90]

whatever, dude....

[Psycatalyst]

Dick we do not get oil from Libya. China does. Remove the incentives.

[21ad]

All options on the table = more oil??

Coal???

Please push for renewables. It not only decreases dependency of the much hated OPEC but is clean, and cheaper than oil in the long-run.

America is the biggest economy but its still advocating oil and coal???

And renewables can be efficient if more people invest in them. Economies of scale and increased investment in R&D will create competitive markets, drop prices and increase efficiency.

[necippasha]

Saving energy, saving money. Sen. Lugar is right.
