    This week, I traveled across the country to talk about my all-of-the-above energy strategy for America – a strategy where we produce more oil and gas here at home, but also more biofuels and fuel-efficient cars; more solar power and wind power and other sources of clean, renewable energy.  Now, you wouldn’t know it by listening to some of the folks running for office today, but producing more oil at home has been, and will continue to be, a key part of my energy strategy. Under my Administration, we’re producing more oil than at any other time in the last eight years. We’ve quadrupled the number of operating oil rigs to a record high. And we’ve added enough oil and gas pipeline to circle the entire Earth and then some. Those are the facts.  But as I’ve been saying all week, even though America uses around 20 percent of the world’s oil, we only have around 2 percent of the world’s known oil reserves. So even if we drilled everywhere, we’d still be relying on other countries for oil.  That’s why we’re pursuing an all-of-the-above strategy. We’re producing more biofuels. More fuel-efficient cars. More solar power. More wind power. This week, I was in Boulder City, Nevada, where they’ve got the largest solar plant of its kind anywhere in the country. That’s the future. I was at Ohio State University, where they’ve developed the fastest electric car in the world. That’s the future. I don’t want to cede these clean energy industries to China or Germany or any other country. I want to see solar panels and wind turbines and fuel-efficient cars manufactured right here in America, by American workers.
[What I'm not telling you:  As usual, the 'fact-checkers' among us are reducing most of my blather opportunities to moot attempts at rewriting statistics, facts as well as political 'talking points.'  The 'socio-fascist' in me doesn't want to admit that their facts are more factual than my facts.... but they are!!  The total miles of pipeline I speak of are intentional obfuscations of the COMPLETE facts.  Most of what I refer to are NATURAL GAS piplines; to a lesser extent, are 'OIL PRODUCTS' pipelines.  I pray upon Americans' lack of knowledge on the topic of crude oil transportation.
    The greatest 'positive' in my blather opportunities is not the wording I use but the American public's distinct lack of initiative to search out the facts on their own!  The American public just takes my blather as fact.  In most cases, there is a modicum of facts imbedded in these spiels which are clouded with dry statistics which only the 'fact-checkers' among us bother to verify.  The "2%-20%" numbers--central to my denegration of the entire oil industry--are no exception!  See, the various agencies of the federal government--all under the regime's direct control--regurgitate what ever supportive statistics I need to buttress the regime's--as an extension of George Soros'--position on any energy-related topic.  In most cases, said statistics are pulled out'ta some guy's ass; in fewer cases, there's just a bit of truth deeply imbedded in the blather.  The 'fact-checkers' have pointed out that the United States is the third-largest oil producer in the world with nearly 10% of the market.  The United States produces nearly as much crude oil as the rest of North America, COMBINED!!
    As has been pointed out by the various--and growing--numbers of conservative radio talkshows, the 'government' statistics relating to national oil production, reserves, et al, do not include the more recent discoveries of fossil fuels, such as tar sands  crude, the Bakken Formation in North Dakota, the Marcellus Shale gas deposits.  The Bakken find was originally estimated in the billion-barrel range.  After two revisions, it's now estimated to contail in excess of 20 billion barrels.  This goes on every day when the federal government is involved in guesstimates in energy sources they disapprove of!!
    The 'Marcellus Deposit' stretches from upper Central New York State, through Pennsylvania, culminating in West Virginia.  That's a range of approximately 575 miles and estimated to be upwards of 900 FEET thick!! Original estimates of the volumne of natural gas contained therein were in the neighborhood of  1.5 Trillion cubic feet.  New research as revised the estimate to be upwards of 500 TRILLION CUBIC FEET!!  This certainly does nothing to support my contention that renewable, green energy is the energy of the future.
    The country's largest solar power plant I visited in Nevada earlier in the week is turning out--"thanks again, all you 'fact-checkers'"--to have as dismal future--power production-wise; jobs creation-wise--as the late, bankrupt-but-federally-subsidized, Solyndra!! The "Copper Mountain Solar 1" facility produces but 58 megawatts-per-hour with only 10 full-time employees.  This is after $1.6 billion in federal--read: TAXPAYER--money!  By comparison, the average, evil, coal-fired power plant produces upwars of 600 megawatts-per-hour, at a far-cheaper total cost!!]
    Now, getting those clean energy industries to locate here requires us to maintain a national commitment to new research and development. But it also requires us to build world-class transportation and communications networks, so that any company can move goods and sell products all around the world as quickly and efficiently as possible.  So much of America needs to be rebuilt right now. We’ve got crumbling roads and bridges. A power grid that wastes too much energy. An incomplete high-speed broadband network. And we’ve got thousands of unemployed construction workers who’ve been looking for a job ever since the housing market collapsed.  But once again, we’re waiting on Congress. You see, in a matter of days, funding will stop for all sorts of transportation projects. Construction sites will go idle. Workers will have to go home. And our economy will take a hit.  This Congress cannot let that happen. Not at a time when we should be doing everything in our power – Democrats and Republicans – to keep this recovery moving forward. The Senate did their part. They passed a bipartisan transportation bill. It had the support of 52 Democrats and 22 Republicans. Now it’s up to the House to follow suit; to put aside partisan posturing, end the gridlock, and do what’s right for the American people.  This is common sense. Right now, all across this country, we’ve got contractors and construction workers who have never been more eager to get back on the job. A long term transportation bill would put them to work. And those are good jobs. We just released a report that shows nearly 90 percent of the construction, manufacturing and trade jobs created through investments in transportation projects are middle class jobs. Those are exactly the jobs we need right now, and they’ll make the economy stronger for everybody.  We’ve done this before. During the Great Depression, America built the Hoover Dam and the Golden Gate Bridge. After World War II, we connected our states with a system of highways. Democratic and Republican administrations invested in great projects that benefited everybody, from the workers who built them to the businesses that still use them today.  So tell Congress that if we invest in new technology and new energy; in new roads and bridges and construction projects, we can keep growing our economy, put our people back to work, and remind the world why the United States is the greatest nation on Earth.
[What I'm not telling you: The only hope I have for re-immaculation is to campaign against a 'do-nothing' Congress which--by necessity--must include loyal owe-bamacRATics!  For my own, political self-preservation I'm forced to throw said owe-bamacRATics 'under-the-bus' along with the republicRATics! 
    My denegrating phrase: the 'do-nothing' Congress? It couldn't be farther from the truth; I just don't appreciate being constrained as America's first socio-fascist ruler!!  I--and by 'I,' I mean George Soros--know best what will continue America along the socialist-fascist-communist-Leninist-Marxist-et al, path of governance!!  This has been best evidenced by my use of the 'Executive Order' and my executive decisions to circumvent both the United States Constitution as well as the United States Congress. 
    These 'shovel-ready' jobs that the 787-billion-dollar PORKulus bill was to fund, rarely ever materialized.  Most of those funds went to reward my donors, supporters and campaign workers.  Now I need to whine more-and-more to have said funds replenished with a promise that I'll actually use them for the stated intention! Ha!! Fat chance'a'that!!  Where was the concept of these 'contractors and construction workers who have never been more eager to get back on the job' when I refused to allow approval of the cross-border portion of the "Keystone XL Pipeline" project?!?  Approval of the entire "Keystone XL Pipeline" project would have provided upwards of 20,000 hard-working Americans with temporary, short-term employment; would have provided--upon completion--upwards of 200,000 hard-working Americans with permanent, full-time jobs!!  Said approval would NOT have cost the American taxpayer 'one-red-cent' and yet, provided these several thousands of jobs!!  Ah, the mind of the socio-fascist!!??!!
    The funding I'm whining about currently--various on-going highway projects--does not depend entirely on the House passing the Senate highway funding bill.  The House majority has assured the American public of it's intention to pass 30-day temporary funding legislation while ironing out the various conundrums contained in the original Senate bill.  A more palatable solution--as viewed through a Taxpayer's eye--is to reduce wasteful federal spending in other areas, a hotly-contested topic in both branches of government.
    Does the country need another 'Hoover Dam;' does the country need another 'Golden Gate Bridge;' does the country need another 'Empire State Building; does the country need another 'interstate highway system?!?'  A conservative; a taxpayer, would say: "Not no, but HELL NO!!  We socio-fascists--in order to perpetuate our failed philosophy--must continue to suck money out of the economy to fund various projects important to us: rewards, bribes, pay-offs, et al!!]
