Energy Vision 2020, it's an all- American, all-of-the-above energy vision that puts our Nation on the path to energy independence and security. How? We don't take anything off the table. We harvest and explore all of our energy options, not stifle them. We do this through real regulatory reform, cutting red tape, and empowering private market innovation. We work to keep our projects and technologies safe. If a venture is dangerous or environmentally unsafe, then say ``no.'' But the key is, ``no'' can't be the final answer. Regulatory agencies must become partners in progress with America's industries and businesses, striving to reach our full potential and finding the answers we need to get there. There will be opponents to progress. Environmental extremists will throw their tired rhetoric around with no basis in scientific fact. But we can't sit idly by, letting America remain dependent on foreign energy sources and letting other countries seize our businesses and innovation opportunities. Energy 2020 will get us focused. It's the next great horizon of American exceptionalism. ____________________
