Blog 8: Oil strikes war

This video is the striking reality on what oil is bringing upon the human population. We have become so dependent on this easy energy source that we do not want to find more efficient methods, but the oil crisis isn't just about finding a good source of energy it is also affecting the human population in more than negative ways. The United states is trying to free itself from the middle-east but, by doing so we are shredding apart another civilization on the other side of the globe. Nigerian people cower in fear as gangs take over their land with vicious force. Is oil really worth this much?

The United states prides itself on helping starving children in Africa, but are we just trying to re-deem ourselves for the other things we are causing? We seem to care little about the lives that we are affecting. How often do you hear about nigerians killed in gang wars do to the malicious attacks that are sprung because people are suffering in an undeveloped society. Oil sets classes among the world and delivers power to those who obtain. Because oil is our primary energy source, which gives us life as easily as it can take it back.

Most of these poverty strucken societies have little control over what happens to them. Strickly due to the fact that they do not have the resources to do so. If we are able to supply cities with 95% of the energy that they need to start a population, through solar and wind. Elements that this world will never run out as long as it supports human life the nwhy are we looking more deeply into this. People need to open their eyes and realize what is happening so that they can take action instead of letting the government do everything that it can to gain power and control people that are suppose to be treated as equals. Why should anybody have a greater and more respectful life? Doesn't everybody deserve clean water and a heated house?
