“Energy independence” is not simply a slogan kicking around — it’s something our nation can really do.  That’s the message National Center senior fellow Bonner Cohen delivered in a February 2011 interview with the Heartland Institute’s Environment and Climate News podcast.

Bonner notes that hydraulic fracturing is a safe and efficient means of extracting large amounts of natural gas locked underneath America, but the Obama Administration and its supporters are making progress difficult through misinformation and regulatory roadblocks in their war on fossil fuels.
