One of the biggest problems for Americans is the high price of oil and gas.

Issue Overview:

Import 63% of oil 17% from middle east -right now we are getting 17% of our oil from the Middle East Hostage to Middle East and controlled by them Not controlling own destiny example:over the past year gas has gone up about 40% Limited Resources Limited supplies available Dependent on others for oil at the rate we are using oil there is only 15 years of oil left.
 * High prices

we need to be concerned with increasing temperatures in the world which impact humans, animals, and vegetation.
 * global warming/pollution

Obama Wants electric cars Wants to give money to car companies to make cars more fuel efficient Wants to create green jobs to get 25% of our energy from renewable sources by 2025 tax advantges for buying fuel efficient cars No gas tax holiday For windfall profit tax- tax oil companies more when the price of oil and gas is high

McCain Gas tax holiday- no gas tax in the summer stop buying oil for oil strategic petroleum reserve.//America stores// have off shore drilling make clean coal industry-our own energy award for car companies for Nuclear power plants-reduce foreign oil
