The article The Energy Debate We Should be Having talks about how politicians are avoiding the subject of the energy usage issue. If we wait another decade before implementing changes for energy usage it will be too late. Politicians need to make decisions on how to lower our nation's energy usage now.
Many major questions need answered, such as what are the best options for producing electricity affordably without ruining our planet? Politicians need to answer many questions and find an alternative source that will lower our energy and reduce our oil usage. This needs to be done because our excess amount of energy usage is damaging our environment and contributing to global warming.

This issue is something that is very prevalent in the United States today, and should be continuously addressed in congress and the White House. But I think that the issue of energy in the scope of global warming is not the way it should be pushed on the agenda in the U.S., because it is clearly not working. The need for alternative energies and becoming less dependent on oil rich countries in the middle east, should be discussed in the context of economics. Fiscally the country needs to address this issue, elections have been based on improving the economy for the past years and will continue. Policy makers should start to address this issue in purely economic terms to piggy back on the countries biggest concern today. The U.S. should even think about bringing back nuclear energy, which over the last 30 years has become much safer. This could not only create jobs it could greatly help the energy issue reach the forefront of policy
