The Energy Crisis and Hybrid Cars

By Colin Jones

It has been said that not enough people are doing all they can do to fight against the energy crisis. Hybrid cars can help, but definitely not enough people are driving them. Here are a few problems related to the energy crisis and how hybrid cars can help.

The U.S. isn't doing enough really. The United States uses more fossil fuels than any other country in the world. However, most people believe that all of our energy problems can be solved if we would only look further into the oil deposits in Alaska or if we made full use of the recent oil discovery in the Gulf of Mexico.

Hybrid cars make it so that we might not have to use other sources of energy to keep the economy afloat. Hybrid cars don't cause Americans to use more fossil fuel. Rather, hybrid cars make Americans use less fossil fuel.

Gas consumers just accept increasing fuel prices. People used to care that fuel prices are much higher now than they were a few years ago. Now, however, people just take the higher prices in their stride. Furthermore, in the meantime, cars are being made bigger and bigger. Vehicle manufacturers are making trucks and SUV's, which consume more fuel at the higher prices.

These cars use more gas, but you wouldn't believe how many people just won't give up their petrol-guzzling SUV. Hybrid vehicles do end up costing people less to own than conventional cars do. So there's no need to worry about just settling for being over-charged by the oil economy.

Soon there could be an end to the "cheap oil period". Soon, we could all be in over our heads, because not only will we have an energy crisis, but a peak oil crisis as well. During the peak oil crisis, there will be fuel shortages and natural gas shortages too. The major countries will need to compete against each another for whatever fuel remains.

So everyone may have some problems, and countries may battle over who gets oil and who does not. The peak fuel crisis can be put off, if more people just purchased hybrid vehicles. Hybrid cars make it so that people do not always have to be looking for oil. And there are advances being made in hybrid cars everyday.

The plug-in hybrid vehicles, for instance, might not need oil at all one day. So, just in case we do have an energy crisis, Americans should really be using the meantime to get their heads together in order to find a solution to the oil crisis in America. Hybrid vehicles are the way to beat the energy crisis, and if countries still want to fight each other over fuel, at least America will know they tried to slow the impending crisis by investing in hybrid cars.

So, that's it. America's mass use of hybrid vehicles would make it so that Americans use less petrol. But Americans also still have yet to gain from the huge amount of money being made from hybrid cars. The majority of popular hybrid cars come from Japan. Therefore, Americans need to bring that money back into the country by making hybrids at home and do something about the current energy crisis at the same time. - 21396
