OFFICE OF CONGRESSMAN JOHN BOCCIERI
AMERICAN CLEAN ENERGY AND SECURITY ACT
Our Declaration of Energy Independence:
It’s a Matter of National Security
In the first months of my service as a Member of Congress, I
’ve often reflected on some of the great challenges we’ve overcome as a nation. I am compelled to reflect on yet another bold step we must take together.
As a matter of our economic and national security we must end our dependence on foreign sources of energy and become energy independent in order to fuel our progress and defend our country.
That declaration and our first steps together come in the form of the American Clean Energy and Security Act.
The pillars of this legislation create hundreds of thousands of jobs nationwide that cannot be outsourced: producing clean, green energy; protecting our national security; and moving away from our dependence on foreign energy, especially oil.
This position is not just mine, but shared by both Democrats and Republicans alike. Energy independence is not a partisan problem and there is not a partisan solution. This is an American challenge and we will find the courage to be energy independent together.
The first pillar of this legislation creates hundreds of thousands of jobs producing the equipment and technology required to fuel our great demand for cleaner, greener, and renewable fuels.
Can you imagine one day rolling into a fuel station and having a choice to fill-up using bio fuels, traditional gasoline, ethanol or maybe we plug in our electric hybrid battery to get a quick charge. Better yet, we drive by the fuel station altogether because we use a fuel cell which gets 100 miles per gallon.
The jobs of tomorrow won
’t come on their own; we must incubate and grow them domestically so they cannot be outsourced. Today nearly 30,000 jobs in our district relate to building a new energy infrastructure. Nearly 8,000 manufactured parts make the wind turbines that turn our generators and I envision a day when a local steel company makes the ball bearings and a die-cast molding company makes the fiberglass shell.
Our district also leads Ohio and, arguably the nation, in fuel cell technology being researched at Stark State University. We are researching plug-in car batteries close to a prototype at the EBO Group in Medina County and the research done at the Ohio State Agriculture Research and Development Center (OARDC) on methane digesters can revolutionize the way we talk about waste. We are also making investments in sustainable biofuels in Ashland County. This research will put our region on the forefront of these technologies when they reach commercial scale, bringing needed jobs to our area.
Wind, solar, bio-fuels, nuclear, and clean coal, with expanded drilling for existing oil and natural gas present Americans with a diversity of energy at our fingertips.
The second pillar of the energy legislation protects our national security by moving
Emma, you believe this nonsense? Really? Despite every analysis showing that for every one green job, we lose 2-four of the regular type. That spain and the rest of the world is running from garbage like this? Wait, this must be the ONE time Europe and the world is wrong, right? Geez....green jobs are an illusion. The cap and trade aspects will make oil companies close american refineries and instead of processing oil, IMPORTING MORE....in some twisted idiotarian liberal logic, that is making us less dependent...but not in something i call...REALITY.
