I think if they were here right now, they'd be telling us, wake up, take a look at reality. We have got the answer right here in America. We haven't talked an awful lot about nuclear power tonight.

It's entirely possible. We can explore our deep sea reserves which contain over 86 billion barrels of oil, perhaps even more. We can access those. Also, our natural gas that's available to us in the Gulf of Mexico area, and also the shale energy reserves where we are the Saudi Arabia of oil in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming.
