The Issue about Energy

The Republicans and Democrats platforms agrees on the issue that America should be more independent on energy. The differences are how their plans should be executed in the investment and development. The Republican wants invest more on drilling and development, while the Democrats wants to invest in research and development. For example the republicans wants to increase production like on-shore, off-shore drilling on American soil for energy independence. They also want to invest on the development of nuclear power for energy. The Republican's goal on energy will bring gas down, create jobs, and enhance national security. The democrats wants to have a green energy sector that will invest on wind turbines, plug-in hybrids, and solar energy generation plants. Also, they want to develop geothermal and bio-fuel. With all these factors, they believe it will create vast jobs. Base on my opinion, I believe America would be better off with the Republican's energy plan. Because with the Democrats on the notion of research and innovation, this will not solve the gas price issue in a immediate fashion. In this nation we heavily rely on oil for everything we own and that we rely our transportation with vehicles, buses, and airplanes.
