Thesis Statement

         Amidst the global conflict and the dominance of OPEC, energy alternatives and oil seem to  be a problem for everyone. So much of our world is powered by greed anymore, which never use to be a bad thing because self interest and motivation fuels capitalism but we have now reached the extent where it is corrupting the entire world. These corruptions all tie into oil, seemingly the most powerful and precious resource of our time and unfortunately these resources lie in the heart of the middle east and the instability of these countries eventually affects our welfare tremendously. So we find ourselves trying to resolve these high gas prices by becoming energy independent and people have a lot of different ideas about it. Some believe we should delve deep into drilling oil out of ANWAR and the Bakken formation others feel we should seek efficient fuel economy systems such as; biofuels and hybrid.
