There are wind farms all over Texas and we have tons of switchgrass, and plenty of sun too. I get most of my oil from Spindletop and the Permian Basin. I drive an American car and use Valero fuel, which is refined in Houston. I'm in favor of more drilling in order to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. In addition, we need to build more refineries. That's my point - buy American and support America. I'm in favor of making a profit, that's the America way. My solution for the world is to get to work - let's make some money so we can be independent and free.
