One of the greatest challenges our country faces is energy independence. As a nation, we face growing demands for energy and if we do nothing to address this situation we will become even more dependent on foreign sources of energy. I find it unacceptable that the world's largest economy, which has led the world in innovation for over a century, is beholden to foreign and often hostile regimes for our nation's energy supply, particularly when it comes to oil.
