Some argue that the country must decrease its dependence on oil and invest in alternative sources of energy‚ such as wind and solar power. Others argue that changing to new power sources is unnecessary and expensive. They state that the United States should search for oil in Alaska‚ the Gulf Coast‚ and other unexplored areas within the country. Throughout

“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

By exploring these other areas and utilizing the resources that are found there‚ we could decrease our dependency on other countries for oil and natural gas.

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‚”

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

To Drill or Not To Drill? It is obvious that the demand for energy and fuel sources is increasing drastically as time goes by. The United States also anticipates an oil demand increase as the population grows over the next few decades (Haug‚ 2011). Therefore‚ the big dilemma is whether or not the search for oil on our land should continue. The recent development and expansion of clean energy resources‚ although expensive‚ can end the battle over oil deposits and lead the country into a cleaner future
