 * The 3 Issues that are most Interesting and Important to you, along with your positions on those issues.**

__Issue 1: Oil Drilling for better economy__.

What my thoughts are on this issue would be to vote yes! Why would our country keep having to depend on other countries to give us oil and then us having to pay them for it. What we should do is get equipment to start off shore drilling. With this, we could drill oil then not depend on other countries for giving us oil, then we could give them oil and create money or just keep our oil and not make money. Either way it would be a win win situation for our economy. Also I think it would give other countries different views on us and help create better alliances.

__Issue 2: Environmental Protection__.  Tourism is becoming one of the world’s largest industries. In Alaska, tourism is already the third-largest employer and is expected to play an even bigger role in Alaska's economic growth and development. In many parts of Alaska, tourism represents one of the few opportunities for economic development. What we have to do is manage tourism so that it benefits local communities while conserving the very natural resources in this unique state that visitors come to see. They come to see, Alaska’s mountains, forests, oceans, wildlife, Native American cultures and Alaskan communities.

__Issue 3: Coal__.

We now know that there is a lot of renewable resources in Alaska. Now even though coal is not renewable, it can still be transfer into oil that would help our economy. It would also create more jobs for more Americans which means that it would help our economy even more. This would also create a lot of money. All we would have to do is keep using our technology and find more and more of these helpful resources and that would help our country greatly.


 * Our Bill:**

Our bill, SB5, is trying to make the way that we get energy cleaner. By making 30% of all electric companies in America's energy solar energy, we can make a cleaner Earth. It is more efficient because we will never run out of it, and there are no harmful wastes that come from it. The total cost of our bill would come to around $1,428,544,000.
