U.S. Security Depends on Energy Innovation

In the article from Yahoo news, Jeremy Hsu states that in order for security for the United States in the future, there is going to need to be less dependence on foreign oil and more of our own energy ideas. If we can find alternative energy then it would help our economy because it would be cutting edge new technology. Hsu states that there is three pillars of the future of the United States and they are national security, environmental security and economic security. These three pillars could collapse at any moment if there is a sudden problem with foreign oil. If we can find new energy then it would only help our national security and our economy as a whole. In another aspect of helping the United States, it would cut back on pollution so that we could focus on more clean energy solutions. Right now America is craving new economic growth and if we can produce energy that is affordable and doesn't involve foreign oil, then it could be a great thing for this country.

I feel like this has been a debate for so long but it is pushed to the side often. We focus on so many topics in government right now that are about our economy but we need to start thinking out of the box in order to find new economic boosts. The United States has tid bits of information for different new energy solutions but we never fully act of them. As of right now, I don't think that there are any options that are affordable for the average American which leads to things falling through.Right now there is being a lot of money spent on oil and other resources that could be saved with alternative energy. New energy could create jobs and a whole new sector of our economy.
