Science Journal (Obama&MaCain--energy)

Energy is the essential in our daily life and it has been used in so many fields. It is a broad topic to cover since there are so many types of energies, for instance: nuclear, wind, solar, hydropower energy and so forth. In 2008 presidential election, energy is one of the biggest issues on the debates. Both Democratic presidential candidate and Republican presidential candidate Barack Obama anf John McCain have covered up on the energy issue and shared their opinions.

Candidate McCain is in favor of tapping into more domestic sources of energy to the hungry market, increasing the uses of green natural gas and drilling. He also talks about how to clean up our climate by developing green technologies and alternative energies for hybrid, hydrogen and batter-powered cars. It is a good solution to reduce the air pollution that creates global warming and creates millions of jobs simultaneously.

Candidate Obama believes the idea of making an investment in solar, wind and geothermal. Those all are renewable and unlimited sources and those sources are super clean. Obama doesn't support one of John's ideas--drilling. Senator Obama thinks America doesn't have much its own oil and it only has three percent of world oil reserves, but Ameican needs to use 25 percent of world oil. Obama believes drilling isn't a long-term plan. In addition, Obama doesn't believe the idea of nuclear power is the only solution to deal with environmental crisis. In 21 century, it is a good thing to have nuclear power as one of sources, which is clean and advanced, but it is extremely dangerous. What happen if there is an accident occures? That's the main reason Obama doesn't support it much and trys to come up with a better solution.

Both senators have good perspective on the energy issue. My opinion on energy is i am strongly agree with part of John's ideas by developing green technologies and part of Obama's ideas make an investment in renewable sources. Since those investments are reliable and have less waste. I agree with both senators as long as their plans benefit people, benefit natural environment and so forth.
