Energy & Conservation


Energy is not too cheap.  Energy is a component of daily life and is a necessity for the American household.  The price of energy should not be inflated, causing many low income homes to live without energy.  Conservation is not a dirty word, and each individual should be conscious in conserving energy as much as possible.  IF every individual makes an effort to conserve energy, than the prices should remain the same.  In a general sense, I do not believe conservation is a dirty word, and should be done in most aspects of life.  Whether it be gas, energy, money, etc.  
 
            I would tell “Jimmy Cardigan” or President Carter that we are no longer facing gas shortages like we once were in the past.  He should focus not on energy which there is a huge supply of, but rather on the impact of foreign oil.  In regards to alternative energy, I do believe that steering away from fossil fuels is a logical idea.  With the state of the economy at the time, I believe that the united states should steer away from foreign oil with such high prices and aim towards natural resources that can be produced right here in our own country.  I believe the renewable energy with the most potential is biodiesel since it can help out restaurant owners, would be cheaper on consumers, and can be manufactured in our own country.  It is also much better for our environment with less air pollution.
