Most Americans do not realize that the Department of Energy has been working on the advanced energy initiatives to help our nation through its energy crisis. The goal is simple to keep up with the increasing demands in the United States of America for energy without breaking the bank of the American families. Additionally to break America's habit on Middle Eastern foreign oil; those are both very worthy goals indeed.

But actually be done? That is a fair question and the answer is of course can. Would you take a look at the United States of America from a historical standpoint? In the last century alone look what the United States of America as accomplished? We are now these single greatest civilization ever created in the history of mankind. Currently we have the lowest unemployment rate and the largest middle-class.

We have more millionaires in the United States of America than all the other first world countries combined. Our gross national product is four times as high as the second-place nation. In the first decade of this century we were first to flight. In World War II we defeated Nazi Germany. In 1962 we put a man on the moon.

My question to most Americans is not whether we can break our addiction to foreign oil or whether we can prevent the unnecessary huge price spikes and natural gas. I know we can do that. Compared to the other achievements of United States of America has done in the Last century; heck breaking our addiction to foreign oil as a cakewalk. The American innovative spirit is alive and well and the President advanced energy initiative is exactly what we need. Now it is up to us to break our addiction to Middle Eastern foreign oil. Thanks to the top universities and private research and development centers we are well our way with new technologies, which will help achieve our goals. Consider this in 2006.
