In August of 2008 Obama said “Drilling is a stop-gap measure, not a long-term solution.” I also really agree with this way of thinking. We can’t just drill forever and we can’t stay so dependent on gas, we should try to incorporate alternate fuel into our lives and we need our government to invest in this so that it’s an actual possibility and not just science fiction. If we seriously commit to finding an alternative fuel not only will it make us a more independently stable nation, but it could hopefully open up new doors for public transportation and cheaper prices for private transportation.
