Central foreign policy and national security issues, when contemplated long range, are tightly wound to our energy policy.

Newly-resurgent oil rich countries are testing our resolve as a geo-political power. We are tipping the balance by sending these unfriendly countries a whopping share of our national wealth to pay for oil.

A new national energy policy initiative is needed to make sure we end our reliance on oil, and to diminish the power and control the oil producing nations have over our economy, and our future.

Nothing less than a national energy project, reminiscent of the Manhattan Project that was implemented during the Second World War, is needed now!

Our standard of living and the future of our children depend on the energy choices we make today. We need to summon the national will to implement a do-or-die energy independence project before we become just another third world country.

The proposed Manhattan Energy Project will help create new industry while helping us keep more of our national wealth; furthermore, it will help weaken the new political power of some of our geopolitical enemies.

Our long term health and welfare, and our international prestige and status, depends on our leader's ability to view our present energy dependence as nothing less than a call to arms. Yes, we are not fighting this energy war with hand combat weapons; nevertheless, our failure to confront this threat will have greater consequences than if we had surrendered to the Axis Powers during the Second World War.
