Who else thinks that the number one issue in the upcoming pres election should be to develop alternative fuels

Question

an effort and promise just like JFK made to go to the moon, The next pres should make a promise to get us off our dependancy on other countries to provide our fuel. We are almost at thier mercy. we need to correct this ASAP or else the time ahead will be worse than the great depresion

Answer 1

I agree. Being energy self sufficient sure would help us solve many of our worst problems. Also, using hydrogen fuel cells would improve our air quality too.

I think the JFK comparison is an apt one...well done!.

EDIT: To Phil (above): the one thing which will most improve our environment is switching to alternative fuels!!! You can't care about the environment and burn 50 gallons of gasoline a month (or a week in the case of SUVs and trucks).

Answer 2

I don't think that any issue of development should be handled by the Federal Government at all.

What does it have to do with the president.

JFK also said "It's not what the country can do for you, but what you can do for your country".

It's not their job.

It's the job of the private sector.

Why should the government tax you and cost you money just so it can develop fuels that MAY have a potential to save you money.

Let the innovation of the free market find alternative fuels. After all, don't you like your computer? Think of how far they have come based off the private market.

The Federal Government's job is to protect our country, protect our liberties, and print sound backed money. That's it. Not to fill us with all kinds of programs, incentives, and ordeals. Not to nation build, not to run empires all over the world.

Ron Paul has offered us all of this, and is growing exponentially.

actual administration for the subsequent 4 years of place of artwork. It has already been shown many circumstances over that the Democrats are the wild spender and the Republicans are the important effectual planners.

Answer 4

The things we should really concentrate on for the issues are

-alternative fuels (or else we're all ******)
-universal health care
-stop the war in iraq
-lowering taxes
-slow down global warming.it can't be stopped, but we can't slow down the process for future generations.
- increasing minimum wage

Answer 5

Not number one, but it should be in the top 10, if not top 5.

Answer 6

Yeah. Let's forget about the troops dieing in Iraq and Afghanistan

Answer 7

The president does not have the power to topple the oil industry and it's associated industries.

Answer 8

Yes, we need to solve this problem of oil addiction, and the politicians seem intent on keeping us on the diet of foreign oil. If we spent a tenth of the money to rebuilt Iraq on scientific projects to find alternatives, we wouldn't need to care what is happening in the middle east.

Answer 9

It certainly should be a top priority for any candidate. The oil companies need to keep us addicted to oil until they can come up with another source of fuel to gouge us with.

Answer 10

The fuels are being developed -- we need to develop more technology to use the alternative fuels. I agree with you!
