The foundation of the universe is energy. Nothing is possible without its existence. In the beginning there was only pure energy--some call it God. We on earth basically depend on the Sun and oil as our chief source of energy. Without the Sun we would die. It was once possible to survive without using oil, but it has now become the life force of civilization. Owners of the oil supplies are the most powerful people in the world,and that is why wars are now being fought over the rights to the oil fields in the Middle-East. The winners will get the big prize---enough cheap energy to keep their populations living in prosperity. The losers will suffer poverty,chaos and beg for mercy.
Every product you use is dependent on oil. The foods you eat comes from a farm that needs oil for its harvesters. The crops are nourished by oil based fertilizers and insecticides. It takes lots of oil to manufacture food packaging machinery and paper containers. Refrigerated trucks are needed to get food to the markets. Some have to travel over a thousand miles and use many tanks of diesel fuel in order to feed us. Oil is as important as our blood because we have lost the ability to live without it.
The oil pumps of the world are going full blast. They have what the world needs and they are feeding it to them as fast as possible. Billions are being invested in oil drilling but as much as they drill they can`t keep up with the demand. One of the reasons for this is the worlds population is growing to quickly. The other reason is that the amount of oil in the ground has reached its limit and increased production has become almost impossible. If that is true and the demand keeps increasing we will soon be fighting for every drop of oil.
The United States is the largest consumer of oil in the world and in order to guard our way of life we must protect our oil supplies. If you use your imagination, think what would happen if we had to pay unaffordable prices for gas. There would be chaos and famine. All responsible Americans should do all that is possible to prevent that tragedy from happening.The best way to do that would be to pick a leader that would make sure we had affordable gas and plenty of it. We are now lucky to have the opportunity to pick a man with military experience and a fighters disposition. He will never let Americans beg for oil. I am speaking about John McCain. But if you are a dreamer like John Lennon and want to imagine a world full of peaceful and content people---vote for the other guy. But be ready to ride a bicycle looking for a job.
