Oil in the Middle East

I believe the U.S. should strive for new ways to fuel our transportation. We need to stop depending on oil which we don't have a lot of. We keep spending our money on oil and towards a wrong cause. The countries in the Middle East have been feasting from the money we spent on oil. They use it against us and boost the prices to see us struggle. They view it as our Achilles-heels and we need to find a solution towards that. The money spent there is also being used as money for weapons. We can't have the Middle East countries acquiring more weapons. Our need for oil is basically helping terrorism because the Middle East countries now have more weapons from the money we spend on them. It just imposes more danger to the world. Terrorism grows while we lose money. I like the point the author used of how if we start changing then others may follow as well and not be dependent on oil.

The world should be concerned about the water issue because at the end it's going to affect everyone. In countries that are already lacking water, it's going to affect the people. For countries that are about to lack water, they are going to start fighting for water. Countries like the U.S., who have water are also going to get affected because water shortages are going to pay more for water. Everyone is going to suffer because of water shortages. Something needs to be done because of the alarming number of people that died from dirty water. Also lack of water is going to affect the oil in the Middle East because water is needed to drill oil out of the ground. If they lose the ability to get oil, then our country is going to be without our main oil source which will lead to more problems. Even though we are still going to have water, prices are going to start rising up and later in the future, we might not even have oil.
