Hillary Clinton Views on Energy and Global Warming

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jujkccf5hJg&feature=related
Hillary Clinton discuses the problem with oil companies and how they are controlling our economy. She believes that we should become independent of oil and find other ways that we can make energy. We have come up with many ways to get energy, but we do not put these into action in the United States. In Norway they use wind to power most things, but we were the ones that actually came up with the ideas. We are starting to try to use our ideas, but now people are just paying money to use oil and let the companies take over our lives. Clinton also discusses Al Gore presentation on global warming and what he has done to make the issue as real as possible. He has started the research and Clinton wants to be the one that finishes his work and save the earth.
This is a big problem today because gas prices are on the rise. The average price of gas now is over $3.50 and is still expected to rise. Clinton picks a key topic to discuss because it will affect us now and in the future. This will help us now if we can find cheaper ways of getting energy because everything that uses oil is becoming so expensive. This is a problem because the economy is falling and will crash again if something is not done. This will also help us in the future because we are killing the environment and our children will have problems with what they can and cannot do. This problem is not fake because I was in Alaska and saw pieces of icebergs that were breaking into the water from warming temperatures. If we do not change to better ways of energies, then my children will not be able to go see beautiful Alaska because it will be underwater from all the ice melting. It is our decision to live the way we want, but Clinton tells us that we cannot live this way because of the effects later in life.
