Imports oil from unstable places threatens our national security

Issues / Ending Energy Dependence

Imports oil from unstable places threatens our national security.

Reasons to agree

  1. We send billions of dollars for oil to countries who don't even need to build a society that works in order to deal with us, all they have to do is put a tube in the grownd.
  2. "We use about 25 percent of the world's oil supply to power our economy, but according to the Department of Energy, we possess only 1.7 percent of the world's crude oil reserves. Our military and economic strength depend on our becoming Energy independent – moving past symbolic measures to actually produce as much Energy as we use." (Governor Mitt Romney, Rising To A New Generation Of Global Challenges, Foreign Affairs, July/August 2007)
  3. "The United States must become Energy independent. This does not mean no longer importing or using oil. It means making sure that our nation's future will always be in our hands. Our decisions and destiny cannot be bound to the whims of oil-producing states." (Governor Mitt Romney, Rising To A New Generation Of Global Challenges, Foreign Affairs, July/August 2007)
