SummaryIn his State of the Union Address, President Bush made the observation that the United States had become addicted to foreign oil. The recent surge in gas prices is clearly reflective of this addiction. Americans have become so reticent in their oil usage that they are now willing to pay in excess of $50,000 for a vehicle that has a fuel efficiency of less than 10 miles per gallon. Given this blatant disregard for oil use, it is not surprising to find that the world’s oil reserves are diminishing at an alarming rate. In addition to the fact that oil is being used by the global community by an alarming rate, research also demonstrates that the continued burning of fossil fuels continues to spur global warming. While some critics argue that global warming is not occurring, it is clear that carbon dioxide emissions are increasing all over the planet.Arguably, the burning of fossil fuels is having a detrimental impact on both the economy and the environment. With this in mind, many scientists have begun looking for cleaner, renewable sources of energy that can save the environment while reducing the costs associated with producing energy.
