| Working to Make America Energy Independent |
| |
|
Growth in demand for oil appears inexhaustible, yet supply and new discoveries
will peak soon, while oil stocks are too low, and the oil delivery system is too
old. America needs a “Manhattan Project” sized R&D effort to invent new sources
of energy for transportation, and a Marshall Plan to map our energy future.
In the meantime, we need:
Tax incentives for the industry to rebuild the oil infrastructure ASAP
Tax incentives to expand refineries and build clean coal and new
nuclear plants ASAP
Tax incentives to telecommute from home
Tax credits for R&D for new technology, especially nanotechnology
Congressman Culberson supports legislation that accelerates permitting
of oil, natural gas and oil shale exploration and production to quickly
decrease energy prices and put Americans on a path to energy independence.
