Current+Event+5

[|Current Event 1] This article was about Obama and his new ideas to help the issues with rising gas and electricity prices. He recently had a conference and discussed what he thinks would help Americas situation. He stated that by the year 2015, all government purchased cars would be Hybrid or electric cars. Republicans are putting the heat on Obama to start drilling for fuel here in America instead of importing it. Obama promised to cut impoted gas by a third by the year 2025. Obama is trying to pressure oil companies in America to use the land that they have leases on and produce more oil. I think that these are valid thoughts and ideas but more work should be done to create other typeds of fuel for cars instead of using up all of the earths oil. Things are looking really scarce and eventually we will run out of oil and hopefully by that time someone will have created something new. I like the idea of electric cars but they are unsafe and still not the best we can do.

[|Current Event 2] This article talks about a business in New York that recently added 201,000 jobs to the payroll. This is great news aand will dramatically help Americas struggling economy. This helped Inflation slightly go down and stocks rose. I am happy about this article and its one of the few inspiring news articles that i have read in quite some time. I wish that more companies could take initiative to do this too but one is fine for now.
