Sixty-one percent (61%) of U.S. Voters feel finding new sources of energy is more important now than reducing the amount of energy Americans now consume. That's a slight drop from last month but consistent with findings since the beginning of 2009.If there's one thing the Gulf oil spill showed us it's that there's plenty of oil down there if we'll just go and get it. Those who hope to see America diminished will keep pushing for conservation in the hopes it will reduce our collective lifestyles. After all, in their twisted world it's not fair that we have more than some others.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that only 31% believe reducing energy consumption is more important.
It's important to note, however, that the question does not specify what form these new sources of energy take. However, 65% of voters think investing in renewable energy sources like wind and solar is a better long-term investment for America than investing in fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal. Twenty-four percent (24%) feel fossil fuels are the better long-term investment. There has been little change in these numbers since the first of the year.
However, we have the technological ability to develop new sources. The only thing we're lacking right now is the political leadership and the will.

How said that the leadership of our country is so weak spined that they bow to Muslim countries so we can continue to get their oil at high inflated prices. We most likely have more oil and coal available to us here in the U.S. than a lot of the Muslim countries put together, the only problem is Washington and the Environmental Wackos won't let us harvest it!
