Energy is a huge factor of our world and life. Everything we do takes energy. It takes energy to move, to run cars, and to heat a house. Energy is the fuel of everything.

Since everything has energy, we need a lot of it. Alot of energy that we have, comes from natural resources. This is very important in my mind because our energy in our natural resources are being limited by many different factors. A lot of human acivities can decrease these natural resources. One big factor is our human production. We build cities with many buildings. Our production is destroying our natural lands. Animals who had lived in that land either have moved to a new location or have been killed in the process of destroying thier homeland. When animals have to migrate to a new land, it could mess up the food chain.

The food chain is a very important process that can take a lot of energy. lets just say because of our human activities there was an oil spill that had killed many of our fish. All the bears that would normally eat the fish, would have to live and eat off of something else. And for many other animals, that would eat the fish, would also have to migrate to another area where they could find more food. Even the people whjo catch fish to eat couoldn't do that either. It's just sad to see our energy disappear when we really need it, especially when it is our own human faults that do it. But I can't stand to think and try to understand why we would destroy all of our natural resources that we use as energy and argue that we can't do certain things because we don't have the energy.

Right now I know that we need fuel for cars. But the fuel that we use is a limited resource. We only have so much of it. I personally think we don't need it. Yes the fuel can help transportation, but it is helping to destroy our earth that we live on. With our advanced technology, I'm sure we can find a different energy source than just gas for our cars. To many people, I'm sure gas is the most important energy resource, but for me it's not. The most inportant energy resource is the type of fuel that will replace gasoline. That should be our focus. I believe that energy is important and we should be careful of what we use for energy and how we use it.

Even though people are refusing to look for another type of energy fuel for our cars, their are other energy sources that we can use. But for now, gas is what we are using. Most likely in many years from now, gas will pobably be our top energy source since it's so cheap. It's expensive to use another energy source. Solar energy is a great source of energy, but it's very expensive. Maybe we will find a better source in the next decade. But I still think gas will be the top source for a long time.
