Toward a U.S. Energy Policy

Perhaps you should start throwing some rocks at your local Nimbies, both on LNG import facilities as well as new refineries. As long as it costs a fortune to get approvals in place to build - never mind the actual cost of building - refining capacity, imported energy, conversion of coal, and even new nuclear plants just will not happen in the time frame required to meet demand. The US Joe is now the victim of his own foolishness, simply as a minority was allowed to dictate the price to be paid by the majority. There is no one else to blame but your own past silence.
