Blog Stage #7: Senators moving forward with climate change bill

I believe that this energy bill will do well and get a lot of peoples support. While the things that are currently happening we’re already looking for ways to prevent these things from happening. The oil spill is very huge and with the bill passed we will be able to find ways to make our cleanup time faster and new procedures to keep things like this from happening. Sen. Lindsey Graham thinks that these past events including the immigration laws in Arizona would make us not focus on an energy bill. To me it would and I think that everyone else should to; we need to bring our country back up after this recession and be on top again.

These events threaten our government, safety, and our environment so we need to act on this as soon as possible. The Democrats strongly believe that this legislation can get passed even though the Republican Senator doesn’t think so. “We're also at a time of the year in which gas prices traditionally go up, which I think will be a very public impetus for getting an energy bill done," Gibbs said. I think this is a very good time to try to get support and pass this legislation because of the consequences of our actions to the environment and security. We can just sit back and let things fall as they may or do something and tighten our fists and get a grip on this situation. We may not see results as fast as we want them but just know that this will help our kids and grandchildren in the future. I’m for sure that in the future, the way technology is going, it will get tougher and tougher to control. We should start now and hope for a better future.
