I don’t necessarily mean the US should start digging oil since where in the world would they find that anyway, but in such a way that they should utilize whatever they have and turn it into good, safe and working ideas. What does the US have a lot of, and how can it work to their economic advantage? For example, a lot of gas guzzlers and other old cars… Why not promote the programs that trade those old cars for cash or newer, greener models, or to convert the engines with greener ones… I’m pretty sure if the entire country does that, not only will jobs be created, but the environment will be much cleaner and money will flow.
