The Energy Crisis

The United States of America is going through an energy crisis. The Energy Crisis started a few years ago during the George W Bush Jr. Republican administration. President Bush has spoken multiple times about the energy problem but has taken no real action to relieve the problem. The energy crisis has gotten worse with the price of a barrel of oil rising above $100. The rising oil prices will likely continue.

Which Presidential candidate will have the solution for the energy crisis? I would not count on the Republicans because they do not care about the high energy prices. The Republicans want energy prices to go up. The Republicans have done nothing in the past 8 years. The Democrats will be the better choice.
