This week, gas prices in Toledo, Ohio, fell to $2.87 a gallon. Am I the only person in Congress noticing gas prices are falling? Hello? The best part is that this gasoline is derived from energy reserves that are brought up from the Utica and Marcellus shale located right in Ohio near the border with Pennsylvania and West Virginia. This means transport costs to market are less. How about that? What America produces and makes, produces and makes America. Powering our Nation from inside our country means importing less. Just yesterday, the Department of Energy made a historic announcement about the achievement of fusion ignition at Livermore National Laboratory. America is making great strides to unleash the future of energy. When America innovates, she is able to stand on her own two feet. Inside our borders, we must secure energy independence and good- paying jobs through distributed generation, solar, fusion, hydrogen, biofuels, advanced nuclear, and more. Energy security is national security. Let's keep working to make our country energy secure with the good jobs that go with it, both for today and the tomorrows to come. Onward, energy progress. ____________________
