We can develope alternative sources of energy, and unless we try well never
succeed. Instead of burning fossil fuels we should be concentrating on more economic
uses of electricity, because electriccity can be produced from any sources of energy.

If we didnt waste so much energy, our resources would last longer. We can save
more energy by conservation than we can produce for the same money. Unless we do
research on solar energy, wind power, tidal power, hydroelectric plants...our fossil
fuels will run out and well all freeze or starve to death.
