Day 1 of Research

Today I read an about the american dependence on oil, and found out that 57 % of Americans drive cars. Thats 171,000,000 people that drive cars on a daily basis and that is only the United States. That number to em is staggering, and shows how large our dependence on oil truly is. Without oil, our country would go into a frenzy. The dependence on this limited resource is what causes the prices of oil to always change, and makes our wallets smaller than we would all like them to be. To stop Americans from depending on oil so much, it is time for us to switch to electric cars. Yes oil is a huge industry, and this will hurt our economy a little bit, but these cars are more affordable, and more people will be able to drive. Our earth may not be affected by oil now, but why do we want our grandchildrens grandchildrens granchildrens children to have to suffer the consequences of our neglect to how much we are damaging the environment. It is time for Americans to stop being so dependent on oil and to try and make a difference. By implementing electric cars into our society, not only will we be helping America not have to rely on the Middle East and make people pay less for their car, but we will be helping the enviroment and keeping our air clean.
