With fuel prices reaching record highs this year it is no wonder that Morgan wants to take on energy independence in a very aggressive way. Morgan believes that this country should set a goal to become totally energy independent by 2020. By ending our dependence on foreign oil and converting our economy to domestic sources of energy including wind, solar, hydrogen, and other alternatives we will see an economic boom in this country that will sustain us for generations to come. 

Energy independence by 2020 would free us from the constant need to send our troops into harm’s way to protect the supply from unstable world leaders who hold us hostage to their oil. Instead of sending billions of our hard earned dollars to foreign nations to pay for fuel, we should invest in our Nations energy future. Money we spend on foreign oil builds up their economy. The Nations of the Middle East are experiencing an economic expansion at our expense. It’s time we invested in America. We put a man on the moon in seven and a half years. With resolve, hard work, research and development we can become energy independent by 2020.
