Energy For America: Dr. Steven Hayward explains path to North America's promising energy future

IER Board Member, Steven Hayward, exposes how US energy policies have restricted access to America's vast energy resources. The result? America is less competitive in the world, energy prices are skyrocketing, and the economy is suffering. The United States must open federal lands to exploration and end the regulatory blockade that keeps shale oil and gas out of our reach.

What the government is doing is the equivalent of saying "Yes, we know American citizens are hungry but we going to import our food and make it very difficult for farmers to use their land."

Alternative fuels are politically correct but expensive and don't have the same yields as these forms of energy. It is time to stop the myth of global warming. CO2 is not a dangerous gas nor is it a pollutant. it constitutes less than 1% of our air or about 385 ppm. to be even close to dangerous it needs to be around 10,000-20,000 ppm. the so-called scientists got caught lying to us again. we need cheap energy to keep the economy going and jobs coming. it is time to stop the environmental whacko

@Kdog379 I doubt the environmentalist lobby would fund this. The only pertinent question is: It this factual? I don't care WHO helps bring the truth to light, if it is truth. Who would have a better working knowledge of these issues than Koch oe ExxonMobil? Please don't be a knee-jerk reactionary...use your head.

@BerryDense Eventually the energy we use now will run out but not for 100's of years and yes we need to further develop alternate energy but right now that energy source is extremely insufficient for our needs. Our economy is floundering and by doing what this video suggests will help pull us out of it by creating jobs and lowering the cost of the products we buy. It will also allot us more time to develop better ways to harness and use alternative energy. The alternative energy cars are a joke

@shr4n energy independence and mass job creation ?????How that stupid???

[ClarksonsinUSA]

@forzapack not CNG... Same performance,lower cost.. :)

[tommybizz]

none of these solutions are sustainable and all are extremely environmentally damaging

[Kdog379]

Kinda funny how the Institute for Energy Research that made this video has received funding from a trust set up by Koch Industries as well as over $300,000 in funding from ExxonMobil. Not to mention that the Institute's CEO, Robert L. Bradley, Jr., was formerly a director of policy analysis at Enron. Just sayin'
