Why do we care?• Currently in the world fossil fuels are the

primary source of energy. (think oil)• This is a NON-RENEWABLE energy source-

meaning someday it will be gone! • The U.S. only has 5% of the world’s population,

yet uses 25% of the world’s fossil fuels (this is bad)

• As the fuel runs out. Prices go up. Simple supply and demand. Soon- gas could be $10 a gallon!

• WE NEED A RENEWABLE SOURCE (something that is replenished naturally)
