The State: Barrett: My plan to harness energy opportunities
Energy is a part of everything we do, whether we realize it or not. Washing clothes, taking a hot shower and simply watching your favorite baseball team on television all require energy. It is a pillar of our economy, a key component of commerce and essential to our daily lives.
We often take energy for granted – except when it gets expensive. Then we all feel the impact. As energy prices go up, the cost of doing business goes up and consumer activity falls accordingly, often dramatically. To make matters worse, our country is heavily reliant on unstable and oftentimes unfriendly foreign nations for our energy resources. Consequently, we are subject to their interests, not our own, which compromises both our economic and national security.
