Global Gas Crisis

The world is extremely dependent on fossil fuel. All types, from coal to gasoline and from natural gas to oil. The world couldn't go on as it does now without fossil fuels. Even if our homes and businesses were powered by renewable energy sources, our cars cannot go on with renewable energies such as wind, solar, geothermal, and nuclear (yes, im including nuclear).

A very small percentage of cars are fully electric, although there are an increasing number of hybrids on the road today. Gas prices are currently low amidst of the economic crisis, but they are sure to go up in the short future if the economy bounces back. If the demand and usage stays high for the next decade to come, we are going to see a real problem, I am talking 9 dollars a gallon. Im just sure you would like to pay that every time you had to fill up.
