These are two big problems. The fact we don't have enough domestic oil means we pay our eneimeis for it, and the fact that it is limited means eventually we will have to change our infrastructure for whatever comes next or watch our economy collapse for lack of energy.

But the biggest problem is one you did not mention --- oil is an extremely dirty and polluting energy source. For me, that is the biggest reason to find alternative energy sources. And if the alternative can be domestic and renewable, like, wind, solar, tide, geothermal, etc., then that has the added benefits of solving the two problems you mentioned too.
dragonrider Reviewed by dragonrider on . Palin and Big Oil... Connection? I think so! Firstly, I must admit that I am not that politically active, and only view it from the side from time to time. After living in America for 17 years, I left to return to my home country, but still have family in the states, so I like to see whats going on over there... Now to the point. Bush was the governor of Texas before being president. There is a lot of oil in Texas. Palin is the governor of Alaska. There is a lot of oil in Alaska. Both are complete idiots and have no idea about Rating: 5
