-I think that fossil fuel will run out one day.
-The reason why we can't run on other alternatives of energy is because of states that are huge, they don't have enough money to afford it.
-I think America should use less fuel, other countries with less rescources are still capable of living. I think we use up all the fuel for unecessary reasons, and that's why we try tapping into the resources of other countries.
-Oil is not man made, oil is something that is produced by nature and it takes years instead of days.
-Cars should run on a alternative type of fuel because there are so many cars out there and it's not only depleting our ozone layer, it is also progressing the lack of oil supply.


4questions:
-Can water become a alternative type of fuel?
-If the Earth runs out of oil, what will happen to us all?
-Will there be a more consequential result if we continue to use fossil fuel carelessly?
-Is there a possibility that the making of fossil fuel can take less time to produce? If science can cheat time?

1overview:
- In this chapter, the book talked about how difficult it is to find alternatives to fossil fuel because the alternatives are so pricey, and then it talked about oil and gave examples that took place in the past.
