The Republicans have made gas prices one of the talking points of the primaries. They claim that the solution is the Keystone pipeline and drilling the nation's oil reserves. They argue that this has been a drain on the economy. This is essentially the same thing that Republicans have been saying for the last 30 years.
Obama has proposed that we need to reduce our reliance on foreign oil, especially those notoriously unstable Middle Eastern countries where much of the world's oil originates, and explore alternative energy sources. He has also argued for reducing the influence that Wall Street speculators have in driving up oil prices.
What are your thoughts on rising gas prices and the solution to this ongoing debate? Are you for drilling the US's oil reserves?
