The Energy Crisis

The energy crisis is an issue that is not only an issue that affects our country but the whole world. Scientists and politicians all claim they have a solution but some are more useful than others.

There are some that claim that finding more natural gas is whats going to solve this energy crisis and some that say mor oil is going to solve it. In short term they are all very good possibilities but in long term they do run out and have also been proven to harm the environment. 

I am for green energy so the political party that opposes me would be the Republican party. They dont believe in green energy as a good investment because it doesn't give profit or make a huge difference right away but in the long run it does. The Republican party wants a quick noticeable change so they are for things like fracking for natural gas and potentially ruining water supplies and harming the environment. Obama has always promoted green energy and still does in this current election. The Republicans just simply dont think its a good solution to our energy crisis and rather harm our environment to find a better way.

       I think the right step to take is to start to focus mor on green energy. Although it may take quite some time to see real results money wise, it is the best step to take not only for our environment but for our economy.  Either way we go the economy will be helped but natural gas and oil can and eventually will run out so the jobs created will eventually end. With green energy being unlimited because its powered by the sun or wind or water current there will always be job opportunities. Some may say what if everywhere in the country green energy was used and there was no need to build more. Well technology advances and communities would want what newer and more efficient in the way that it will help more. If that isn't true than we would still be driving cars from the 20's.

Think About It.

September Eleven Two Thousand and One

          On the morning of September 11 2001, Three terrorist attack were taken out on the World Trade Center  in New York City and in The Pentagon over in Washington D.C. These attacks were planned out by a group of radical taliban muslims called the Al-Qaeda. These events changed not only our country but the world. It was a huge shock to have been attacked on american soil. This attack made americans more patriotic than ever changing the names of french fries to "freedom fries" and other things like it. This event also started a lot of racism not only with Muslims but everyone that was not a born American. President Bush and the government declared a war on Iraq and a "war on terror" 

          Im sure there are people everywhere that dont think the U.S. over reacted to the attacks of 9/11. There are folks out there that are totally fine with this war being the longest war in the history of the country which is crazy. Since airport security has gone way up I'm sure there are some people that think we are way safer than we were 11 years ago but terror doesn't have to strike from and airplane. A perfect example of a terrorist attack that didn't need an airplane was the Batman shooting in Colorado. Just because our airports are safer doesn't mean we are.

          I think the U.S. tremendously over reacted to these attacks. I agree with them on going to war to stop the Al-Qaeda but they did it to over throw a government, allegedly. This has been the longest war in American history and for what? Yea our country and innocent people were killed but the 11 year war is just too long for three buildings. When Pearl Harbor was attacked much more people were killed and valuable Navy ships were lost and some fighter planes too and The U.S. stayed less in that war than this one. We are still living in great danger. People in other countries must see the U.S. as an invading country that just wants things their way and they are kind of right. There was no real need for the U.S. to over throw Saddam. What we needed to do was stop Al-Qaeda. Although our airport security was greatly improved, there is still probable terrorist attacks. There are crazy people everywhere in the world and we shouldn't worry only on outsiders. There can be threats from anyone that is already in the country and they dont need a plane to do take action.
