Drill Or Not To Drill

President Obama has pushed forward agenda to free Americans from

dependency on foreign oil. Obama said in ten years, we can reduce our dependence so

that we no longer have to import oil from the Middle East or Venezuela. Number one, we

need to expand domestic production and that means telling the oil companies the 68

million acres that they currently have leased that they’re not drilling, use them or lose

them. Obama has been pushing forward his agenda to free America from dependency

on foreign oil and many people and opposing politicians believe that this is just

unnecessary and will cost too much. I personally disagree with him because I think that it

is an unnecessary task and it will cost a lot of money. I think that instead of wasting

money on these new technologies he should be using the money on better things such

as fun dings for schools and so on. I would say that I agree with the side of the public

and politicians because there is really no need to go and spend more money on these

new technologies when we are already receiving oil from the foreign countries. Nothing

can change the fact that America is dependent on a product that is not sustainable.   We

cannot produce enough oil domestically, which require us to depend heavily on foreign

oil. What happens if our foreign oil sources are cut? What are we supposed to then?

In some ways President Obama does have a good idea of using these new

technologies because then we would not have to depend on them or deal with the

when we already have suppliers, that’s just my opinion. My reason behind my position is

because you have to spend money to make money and that is with anything because if

we make our own oil with new technology then we will not have to pay as many people

to work for the oil and gas prices will be cheaper. It is a win-win situation if we make the

new technology. It...
