This nation has been self-sufficient from the beginning of its existence. I will work to utilize Mississippi's vast natural resources; such as, natural gas, petroleum production, and our cutting edge technology of wind, solar and carbon chemistry (Enerkem.com - recycling and converting household garbage into ethanol and energy). By using our own natural resources, we can keep American dollars in Mississippi instead of sending money to the foreign countries; therefore, making our prices cheaper and boasting our own economy.
