Right now I think we need to do whatever is necessary to produce our own energy and independent from foreign oil, so we can get out of the mid-east and leave them to themselves. I think we need to drill off our own shores, nuclear energy, but at the same time putting in the same amount of effort producing alternate energy sources. I would normally concider myself more of a tree-hugger, but the fact that we are so dependent on foreign oil causes to many problems.
I think it's a good idea, but it scares me at the same time. I hope we can find a way to dispose of it safely. We have got to get off this foreign oil somehow.
