America has long been one of the biggest consumers of oil in the world and the dependency continues to grow as more and more people use automobiles and airplanes for travel. Gasoline prices are through the roof, and since there is a relatively fixed demand for oil, price acceleration does not deter people from buying it. Many people want to find a way to combat high gas prices, but when foreign countries control the price of oil per barrel, there is little that can be done in the marketplace aside from using clean energy alternatives.
Clean energy alternatives are Americas primary option to end the addiction to oil and coal. Many people all over the country are investing in these energy alternatives, and at this time, the United States has the means to increase production of solar-powered energy products. This can benefit the country for a number of reasons. Introducing solar powered plants into the American marketplace will create jobs for millions of people out of work.
