30 POINTS Explain why you agree or disagree with the following proposals made by various analysts as ways to solve U. S. energy problems: a. Oil companies should find and develop more domestic supplies of crude oil to increase domestic oil production and reduce dependence on imported oil. b. The government should place a heavy tax on gasoline and imported oil to reduce the consumption of crude oil resources and encourage the use of alternative energy sources. c. There should be a switch to greater dependence on coal as an energy resource. d. There should be a switch to greater dependence on nuclear power as an energy resource.

A. Agreed because trade agreements with other countries can change at any time. Imported taxes could go up as well. The US economy will also improve with finding solutions for domestic oil production
b. Disagree because the US already has a high enough tax that most citizens struggle to pay off. There are not many alternatives for energy sources as of right now. When more alternative sources are made, they could higher oil tax
c. Disagree because coal is not the only way available. There are few options like solar energy and electricity stuff
d. Disagree because nuclear power is very tricky. It is a lot of pollution that you just can not throw out like regular garbage. It’s a difficult type of power.
Hope this helps! It’s how I would answer it
