Immediately reduce military defense spending by 50 percent, and reallocate funds to renewable and alternative energy.

It is not economically feasible for the United States to occupy other countries to secure fuel resources which are available within its own borders. It is estimated that the United States has enough natural gas to fuel 100 percent of current domestic demand for at least 90 years. In addition, the United States produces about 2 billion barrels of crude oil per year, according to the API. Reducing the military defense budget (approximately $737 billion in 2012) by at least 50 percent would result in over $300 billion to invest in renewable and alternative energy sources to support energy independence and increase national security.
