It is very important to limit to the use of foreign oil in the United states. The more we depend on foreign oil, the higher the price of oil will be. Just in case the OPEC decides to cut the US off we wouldn't be in whole world of trouble. Also gas prices increased it could effect the country in many horrible ways. We would be back to the energy crisis
Forms of energy
There are two main energy sources that I would replace and reuse. The energy sources are solar and greenhouse gases. I say solar energy because you can reuse it but its is cost efficient. Lastly i say green house gases because its a cost and it is reuasable.
