To produce energy is to manufacture it!
Manufacturing fuels the economy and energy unleashes economic power
Remember what Ross Perot said when he ran for the Presidency of the U.S.? And what would happen to "manufacturing" jobs if NAFTA was passed?
When a country does not produce its products, IT must rely on foreign nations to supply the demand for its people
Inflation does not rise from the printing of cash, it comes from a sever lack of manufacturing
Supply and Demand
Its that simple!
