President Bush gave his State of the Union address Jan. 23rd. Much of it had to do with Iraq and to protect the American people. It seems to me fear was used to continue to gather support for Iraq and his War on Terror.
Fear, a tactic often used, well what about our country’s energy crisis- seems pretty scary to me. Our current energy situation is serious. Mr.
President said we “need to solve problems not leave them for future generations.” I couldn’t agree with him more!
We need to take action now. We must invest time and money into research and technology of renewable and alternative energies. Ideally it would be great if this was all we had to but our nation is addicted to oil and natural gas.
We can’t just expect to quit cold turkey. To reduce our dependence on foreign oil we need to, safely, open up our countries land and resources for domestic exploration.
Step by step, we will start to bring our nation closer toward energy independence. The president had one thing right, we do need to take action now, and not leave problems of today for future generations.
