Some people see imports of Canadian oil produced from tar sands as a way to reduce U.S. dependence on oil imports from potentially unstable Middle Eastern countries and from Venezuela. Others call for developing unconventional oil from shale rock as a domestic resource in order to reduce U.S. oil imports. Still others oppose both of these options because they involve environmentally harmful processes. What is your view on this issue? Explain.

b) I advocate for developing unconventional oil from shale rock to decrease U.S. oil imports.
c) I oppose both options due to their environmentally harmful processes.
d) I suggest exploring alternative solutions to reduce oil imports.
