To Drill or Not To Drill I believe that we should focus on other ways of getting energy besides drilling‚ especially off shore. We all have seen what can happen if something go wrong when we drill off shore. I don’t feel that we know enough information about drilling deep water. According to Margolis‚ “ water pressure at those depths is more than 200 times that of the atmosphere at the surface‚ and no one knew what all the heat‚ gas‚ and salt below the seafloor might do to the drilling equipment”(Margolis

Several people argue about how the country should decrease the dependence on oil and how it ’s invested in several sources of energy. The United States seems to be using huge amounts of oil on a daily basis and can be very expensive. I believe in order to meet energy needs we have to find another kind of source

“To drill or not to drill‚ that is the question” I think that this is a very difficult question to have to answer. I can see where both sides are coming from because in one sense drilling off the coast and in the Gulf of Mexico would help save our country money because we would not have to buy our oil from other countries. I also think it is somewhat of a good idea because if we were to drill here instead of buying our oil from other countries it would help provide more jobs for Americans which

The issue at hand is about opposing views on renewable energy. Whether renewable energy is beneficial for our environment or not beneficial at all. Summarizing what I read‚ one viewpoint says that it is better for our environment‚ and green‚ and clean to use solar powered‚ wind powered‚ and water powered energy sources instead of fossil fuels such as coal‚ oil and natural gas. The other viewpoint states that it would take up too much land space to use these sources and that they are not “green‚”

What we must determine is if the decision to drill in other areas of the United States including Alaska and even the Gulf Coast or should we explore the other options which include alternate sources of energy such as solar and wind power. Or these issues or problems and if so how do we resolve them

To drill or not to drill; I say not to drill. Americans need to not be dependant on any other person for their energy usage. We moved to this beautiful country to assert our independence and yet we feel we have to bow down to other countries for what we need. I feel we should find other ways to get our fuel like ethanol. We can make our own fuel and even if it cost more we no longer have to fight for our fuel. We can make our ethanol from corn husk and not the actual kernel so it would not interfere
