The United States is largely reliant on fossil fuels to run our economy. Most likely you already knew that though. What I am saying is that American politics are driven just as much by fossil fuels. The power of the energy companies greatly influences the decisions made by the EPA and other office holders. But what happens when the fossil fuels run out or become to expensive? America will have to make a choice to either switch to renewable energy or nuclear power. I think being informed on the positives and negatives is necessary to make an educated vote. Remember that all candidates have different viewpoints on energy, whether influenced by money or science.
This video is a good quick presentation of both sides: The Energy Debate
