We are all so reliant on oil and we don't even realize it, its not just gas in our cars but oil is in everything from plastic bags at the store to medical supplies. Scientists have recently estimated that globally there is only 50 years left of oil and after that we are going to have to find some other way to power our nations. Although ethanol burns cleaner and it renewable I'm not so sure that its going to be a long term solution to oil. We have a limited amount of crop lands and if we use it to grow corn for fuel instead of food its going to cause problems. There maybe a balance between growing food and growing fuel but what about all those plastic products we love? Corn can't replace that. We are currently in an energy crisis that we on'y have 50 years to solve.DianeMJKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17306904710853610646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123593200657873076.post-51145784113963888482009-05-28T15:29:06.587-07:002009-05-28T15:29:06.587-07:00I don't believe that Americans are addicted to oil...I don't believe that Americans are addicted to oil. It just happened to be that the oils that we need are really necessary to our lives. But I do believe that alternative fuels are our salvation. Someday we're going to seek for alternative fuels if we run out of oil. <br /><br />In terms of replacing food crop to fuel crop, I disagree with that. What if we run out of food?There are many vacant lots or lands all over USA. We can use them instead of replacing it with fuel crops.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00469482944104550076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123593200657873076.post-65045665883841209192009-05-19T22:25:47.170-07:002009-05-19T22:25:47.170-07:00I do believe Americans are addicted to oil.

An alternative fuel is our salvation, someday we'll run out of oil, or it'll too expensive for anyone to afford. If replacing food crops with fuel crops is our only alternative,why not do it. I don't feel there is anything wrong or harmful about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123593200657873076.post-76556878646248244782009-05-19T21:31:41.296-07:002009-05-19T21:31:41.296-07:00I don't just believe that Americans are addicted t...I don't just believe that Americans are addicted to oil. I know that they are because oil is needed for everything and it is our only salvation. For instance, oil is a demanding substances right now that the cost for it continues to rise and people just can't afford it anymore. Also besides the cost, it is actually good for the environment too.<br /><br />I would be fine if they replace food crops with fuel crops because i think it's a pretty good thing since the oil we're using now will soon be gone and the fuel crops can be a good alternative.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
