finally we are going to use our own oil for once. i watched a news program about how the high gas prices has caused U.S. oil refineries to look for alternative sources of oil, and the one alternative they are looking at is our own. The U.S. has plenty of oil in Texas and Alaska and the reason we stoped using our own was that foreign oil was cheaper, now its not. I also believe Bush has been looking for a reason to not rely on foreign oil and this could be the way to go. The main problem with alternative energy sources is that the big oil and Car companies bought all the rights to those sources(electric cars and solar energy for exaple). so it makes it difficult to use oil alternatives. The reason the UN does not help out other countries is that it wouldn't be beneficial for them to do so, For instance Africa, controled by drug lords and radical muslims. Africa has nothing to offer, there for, no help for them. The US tried to help once with foreign aid but President Clinton gave into pressure from the UN and botched the whole Sudan problem. The UN to me is worthless, in my mind they want to run everything including the US, which unnerves me
