There is no excuse for the U.S. to be beholden to Russia at all. We must ban imports of Russian oil and increase our domestic energy production.

Key point-increase domestic production.

This is the right initiative! #Ukriane is grateful, but we still need fighter jets, anti-rocket and anti-aircraft defense so we can defend ourselves! Putin will not stop until he is stopped! #NoFlyZone #ProtectUASky #StandWithUkraine

Where's your renewable energy plan? You fuss about a problem, but offer no solution. Staying with oil isn't a good long-term plan.

You're right, also no excuse to import oil from Venezuelan dictatorship.

Ok, and how do you plan to increase US production? What leverage do you have with oil companies and refineries to make them do it? They have the land, they have the permits, they flush with cash to hire people and get it done. What's stopping them?

Clean green energy production, Tim. Think of the future. It’s a “two-fer.”
