The US Senate has given its support for drilling in the Arctic region of Alaska.
Reluctantly, I, also, give my support to this measure. I believe the US must become self-reliant for its energy needs. Furthermore, drilling for oil in this region does not mean the creatures that inhabit this area will be disturbed. I do, however, believe there must be a strong support system for making sure that companies receiving authorization to drill do it in a restrictive way, which will preserve the natural beauty of this area.
In addition, to this measure, the Congress should give full attention and full funding to support research relating to alternate fuel sources for our vehicles, such as bio-diesel and hydrogen. I realize these may not be popular items, but they are pressing at this time, considering the price of gasoline!
