Week 2 Assignment

To Drill or Not To Drill? That is the Question

Satin K. Washington

Based on the reading about the agenda that President Barack Obama is pushing forward to free America from dependency on foreign oil which will result on the growing of green jobs in the coming years, I feel that I am for this agenda to go through rather than continue to depend on foreign oil. It is plain to see that this agenda would be really good for the economy in both helping the planet and also helping the people on the planet who are unemployed and trying to find work really desperately. Sure it will cost a lot of money at first but in the long run the prices will eventually drop to a low and both the economy and the planet will be in a way better shape that it was in the previous times. If one really looks deep into the matter, it plainly is out there that if we continue to depend on foreign oil the countries that we are getting the oil from will go higher in their prices or will want some kind of trade that will either involve weapons or some sort of radiation chemicals. I think that the opposing side that are against this positive agenda are trying to stop it because it will be good for the planet and the people who are unemployed and looking as well as needing employment really bad. It seems like they do not want the planet to get better or the people to prosper but rather go down hill and the planet become destroyed and inhabitable like toxic and deadly. The opposing party should be ashamed of themselves to want to continue to drill in these other foreign countries and destroy both the countries and the planet just because they want to drill for oil that pretty much is really not needed anymore due to the technology of green living and being eco friendly for the planet. I often wonder if the opposing party will live on this planet when it becomes toxic; more rather how will they live on this planet when it becomes extremely toxic? I’m pretty sure that they will probably not live on this...
