We have the power to grow our economy and the natural resources to develop new technologies, but we need government to end its campaign against energy production and put Americans back to work.
We are an energy rich nation. In fact, America is home to the largest coal deposits in the world. Not to mention, we rank high on the list for oil and natural gas. The United States is also is home to vast amounts of mineral resources. One example of our mineral wealth is the proposed Pebble mine in Alaska, where an estimated 80 billion pounds of copper and 5.6 billion pounds of gold are located. Unfortunately, unelected bureaucrats, a handful of members in Congress, and anti-energy activists want to trap our mineral wealth there forever and sacrifice economic growth.
