Journey to Energy Independence

About Us
The AmericanEnergyIndependence.com website first appeared on the internet
during the summer of 2003 as a position paper, a single web page, advocating
the development of
alternative fuels as an effective strategy for limiting the flow of
money into the hands of terrorist groups financed by oil rich Islamic
nations.
In 2004 the website expanded
to include all energy categories, complete with
relevant technologies and in-depth discussion
of solutions as well as exposé of
political barriers that prevent progress. The public response has
been tremendous. Positive feedback continues to pour in from across the
country.
Today, AmericanEnergyIndependence.com is the most popular
search destination on the internet for information about Energy
Independence.
Islamic terrorism, war in the Middle East, outrageous oil
prices crushing the economy — all could have been avoided if
30 years ago, or even 15 years ago, the American people had united behind
a sustained aggressive national effort to develop alternatives to oil dependence — specifically,
alternative transportation fuels.
The United
States and Europe
were warned in 1973 with the first oil embargo, and then again in 1980
and yet again in 1991 with the Gulf war. Then on
September 11, 2001 the United States was
attacked by Muslim jihadists which led to the present war against al-Qaeda
(Takfiri
ideology) and global Islamic terrorism.
Middle East
oil wealth has provided the financial support behind the worldwide
expansion of
militant Islam. Unfortunately, too many Americans have refused to acknowledge
the connection between U.S. oil dependence, Middle East oil wealth
and the rise of global
Islamic
terrorism. For most Americans, this refusal is an expression of political
apathy, but for those who are politically active yet remain ideologically
in denial, the role of Middle East oil
wealth—in creating the terrorist mindset—is well documented.
It is only recently, with the rapid and extreme rise of gasoline prices,
that politically apathetic Americans are beginning to pay attention.
It's not too late.
The AmericanEnergyIndependence.com website offers a unique collection of
facts and resources that will help Americans access,
read, ponder, discuss and Get Involved in the
most important challenge America has faced since World War II. American
Energy Independence will require the participation and support of
all Americans.
We value your comments and suggestions, and invite qualified
people to contribute
