Energy+Policy

__**Energy Policy:**__ We will strive to reduce energy dependency on overseas countries such as Saudi Arabia (to reduce nat'l debt) and at the same time we will implement important environmental regulations to reduce American emissions that harm the environment.


 * To do this we will use our own oil reserves in areas like Texas and Alaska, as well we will continue to import oil from Canada (we are the destination of approximately 90% of their exports) so that we don't waste all of our oil and will have some in case of emergency
 * Currently the argument has been over off-shore drilling and green energy, when really we should do a hybrid of both
 * We should use off-shore drilling to draw in short term government revenue and to generate jobs and as a temporary energy source
 * At the same time we will provide tax incentives to Detroit and the motor industry to start making electric and hybrid vehicles and then eventually transfer from the off-shore drilling to green energy
 * As for powering our homes and the industry, we will use a combination of green energies, small amounts of nuclear energy
 * We will also provide large tax incentives for green energy companies and for green energy end users while at the same time implement higher corporate taxes on fossil fuel companies such as Exxon Mobil and Shell
