Washington Must Lead on Energy Now
T. Boone Pickens, Orlando Sentinel
Gasoline prices are spiking. Again. And again the public is concerned. We've been through this song and dance before. The rhetoric is the same. Blame it on the Middle East. Blame it on speculators. Blame it on the oil and gas industry.Here's where I assign the fault. Washington's continued inability to develop a comprehensive national energy plan. China has one. Virtually every other country does, too. Washington should follow suit, and deliver on the four-decade-long promises of energy independence and enhanced energy security.
