Blog 61 - Concern

One thing that has always concerned me is the energy situation on our planet.  I always hear how experts think that our fossil fuels will run out in only a few years and we will not have many resources left.  That is an interesting fact to think about.  In our country, so many people depend on fossil fuels for gasoline or heating their houses.  If the resources were almost gone, you would not be able to use your cars and these resources would be hard to find.  I always wondered if this prediction was true, or just a tactic to convince people to be more “green” or less wasteful.  I think that alternative energy sources are a good idea, but I do not know what will be the actual solution to the problem.   I do not know if this is enough to support our country or if a different source will be found.   It is interesting to think how our country will be different if our energy sources change.  I wonder if people will be driving electric cars or if they will invent cars that run on different types of fuel.  In the summer, before I went to school, gas prices were only around two dollars a gallon.  But every time I go home, I see that they are even higher and now they are almost four dollars again.  Our country is very dependent on gas and this situation affects almost every person.  So whether we like it or not, the energy crisis affects all of us.  It will be interesting to see what happens in the upcoming years.
