If we don't continue to pursue alternative, emissions-free energy sources like nuclear fuel, we are at risk of increasing our dependence on costly natural gas. ↗

While there are many influences on gas prices in America, I believe the passage of a national energy bill will help relieve this burden on our country. ↗
