Burning the Midnight Oil


Well, more bad news. And again we suffer. But I think it is our choice of using oil that has gotten us to this point. I have noticed that lately society seems to be trying to use alternative source and means of power...for so long solar power, hybrid cars, etc. were laughed at.
I watched a program last night about oil in Alaska that was very informative, explaining how much oil may be left in the ANWR (Arctic National Wildlife Refuge). Even if we were to explore it and remove the oil that is there, it would only last America a year. We are so dependent on foreign oil that we use 25% of what is available.
Maybe in our lifetime we will see major changes. We can only hope. Life will evolve for future generations and hopefully they will benefit.
