To Drill or Not to Drill HUM/111 CRITICAL AND CREATIVE THINKING President Obama wrote a letter to Congressional Leader to take immediate action to eliminate unwarranted tax breaks for the oil and gas industry and to use those dollars to invest in clean energy to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. (Daily Compilation of Presidential Documents; 4/26/2011, p1-2, 2p). President Obama and Congressional Republicans marches in completely different direction on energy policy. Mr. Obama reminds
To Drill or Not to Drill: That is the Question Week 4 mid-term HUM/ 111 University of Phoenix I am on President Barack Obama’s side when it comes to pushing forward the agenda to free America from dependency on foreign oil. A growth of green jobs might take a while but in the long run the United States of America will be better off because we will not be spending as much money as we do now to import oil
l or not to drill To Drill or Not To Drill HUM/111 03-27-2011 By: Heidi Nicole Wilden To drill or not to drill, that is the question. I find this thought enter my head repeatedly as I research this issue. I remember watching the oil spill on the gulf coast, and thinking “How could this happen? If only we didn’t drill there.” I discussed this issue with my husband, and he started pointing out facts. Oil isn’t just powering our cars. Yes that is the FIRST thing we notice but it’s not the
To Drill or Not To Drill Deborah Frederick HUM/111 March 11, 2012 Tammi Ledbetter To Drill or Not To Drill Today’s energy crisis is controversial largely because The media have helped make it controversial by printing and broadcasting material so inaccurate that anyone with any knowledge of our industry would have to disagree with it. (Rawleigh Warner, Jr., personal communication, March 5, 1973). Oil drilling has indeed been a bone of contention for many years and will continue
To Drill or Not to Drill We need to continue to drill for oil but at the same time we need to develop greener resources. While drilling for oil is costly to our environment, without crude oil we would not have many of the luxuries we now incorporate into our everyday lives, but greener resources need to be examined more closely. Drilling for oil offshore has been very costly for the animals and humans that occupy our planet. Over the past 33 years there have been four major crude oil spills
To Drill or Not T Drill? More oil drilling cannot meet our long-term energy needs . The United States has only 2 percent of the world's oil reserves, yet we use one-quarter of the oil produced annually even if we were drilling everywhere, including wildlife refuges, off beaches, and other fragile places. We cannot produce enough oil domestically to significantly reduce our dependence on foreign oil. The only real long-term solution to high prices and foreign oil dependence is to reduce our consumption
To Drill or Not to Drill? My opinion in regards to this topic is that we as a country need to start spending and investing an adequate amount of efforts and money into becoming less dependent on other countries and that the benefits and rewards that we as a country would reap would long outweigh whatever risks and amounts of money that may be put into it. Being dependent upon foreign countries for something as valuable as oil is extremely unsafe and unstable choice to continue with when this undeniably
DRILL OR NOT TO DRILL Dustin Stevens HUM/114 February 26, 2013 Paul Stearns DRILL OR NOT TO DRILL I have seen a lot of great arguments on the news about changing to a new power source that the United States can use instead of oil. There are other alternatives besides oil such as solar power, and wind power. I would have to stand by an energy source that is highly accessible, cost efficient, reliable, and something that is better for the environment. I would either choose solar power
To Drill or Not to Drill HUM/111 November-11th, 2012 Rebecca Clark To Drill or Not to Drill Alternative energy sources, such as wind and solar, pose an interesting solution to the energy crisis that the United States is close to entering by depleting traditional and easily accessible energy sources. The only issue with those solutions is they are extremely expensive to implement, which will only add to our ever increasing national debt. The United States has an abundance of reserves in
