Work on alternative energy sources, sure, but why not lower energy costs until we have viable solutions?Should the federal government be encouraging new oil drilling, nuclear power, and new refineries?
Yes the federal government should be making sure that the oil companies can drill in ANWAR and off the coast of Florida and anywhere else that deposits of oil are. New refineries using the latest technology will result in less pollution and more efficient use of the oil we now have. Nuclear energy is, at the current time, the least polluting form of energy we have and yet people say no to nuclear power. Alternative sources of energy may one day be widely available but they are not now. Worse some things that showed great promise (bio-fuels) are proving to be more expensive and more polluting to produce than the amount they were thought to save. These things must be worked out before we can make the switch to the alternative sources.Should the federal government be encouraging new oil drilling, nuclear power, and new refineries?
YES! Particularly nuclear power so that we can stop digging for coal, etc. to power our homes and businesses. We have had a nuclear power plant in SoCal for over 20 years with no problems. So why not fund more.
