I. Everyday the United States uses nineteen million barrels of oil. Is it possible for us to
             ever become independent from the Middle Eastern nations that supply us with that oil?
             B. We could implement the new technology of hydrogen cars.
             C. We could also use the new electric cars.
             I. The US has its own oil wells, so why don't we supply ourselves?

             II. Why not start to implement the newly discovered technology of hydrogen powered

             B. Mass production of these vehicles would take even longer than that.
             C. Hydrogen is extremely dangerous, and would require extensive safety
             measures to ensure safety at fueling stations. This means rebuilding all of the
             III. What about electric cars†we already have those developed.
             A. True, these cars have already been developed, but they're not to the point
             where they can match the standard gasoline cars of today.
             1. They can not reach the speeds that gasoline powered cars do
             2. They are not as large as gasoline cars, limiting passenger and storage
             3. They cant tow stuff like larger gas cars can.
             B. The lack of size and marketing is causing people to overlook these cars. Very
             few people are willing to buy them.
