How Hybrid Cars can Reduce the Energy Crisis

By Colin Jones

It is said that not enough people are doing enough to fight against the energy crisis. Hybrid cars can help, but definitely not enough people are driving them. Here are a few things related to the energy crisis and how hybrid cars can help.

The U.S. isn't doing enough really. The United States consumes more fossil fuels than any other country in the world. However, most people think 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 can result in us not having to use other sources of energy to keep the economy growing. Hybrid cars won't cause Americans to consume an excessive amount of fossil fuel. Rather, hybrid cars make Americans consume less fossil fuel.

Fuel 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 accept the higher prices. Furthermore, in the meantime, vehicles are being made bigger and bigger. Car manufacturers are making trucks and SUV's, which consume more petrol at the higher prices.

These vehicles use more fuel, but you would never believe just how many people won't give up their gas-guzzling SUV. Hybrid cars do eventually cost their owners less to own than conventional cars do. So there is no need to worry about settling for being over-charged by the oil companies.

Soon there could be an end to the "cheap oil period". Soon, we could all be in too deep, because not only will we be in an fossil fuel crisis, but in a peak oil crisis as well. During this peak oil crisis, there will be gas shortages and natural gas shortages too. The major countries will be forced to compete against one another for whatever small amount of oil is left.

Therefore, everyone may have some problems, and countries may have to compete for who gets oil and who does not. The peak petrol crisis can be staved off, if more people just drove hybrid vehicles. Hybrid vehicles ensure that people are not always having to be searching for petrol. Furthermore, there are advances being made to hybrid technology all the time.

The plug-in hybrid cars, for example, might not even need oil whatsoever one day. So, just in case we do have an energy crisis, Americans ought really to be spending the time to finding a solution to the coming oil crisis in the U.S. Hybrid cars 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 attempted to stop the impending crisis by buying hybrid vehicles.

So, there you have it. America's mass use of hybrid vehicles would make it so that Americans need less petrol. But Americans also still have yet to gain from the huge amount of money being made from hybrid vehicles. The majority of popular hybrid vehicles come from Japan. Therefore, Americans ought to attract that money back into the country by making hybrids at home and do something about the current energy crisis at the same time. - 21392
