Significant blog post 2

This is my second significant blog post, and it is about the oil supply.

A few hours ago, I saw a video on discovery channel about how the world would have
absolutely no oil reserves left in 2016. Thats 6 years from now. The price of oil has increased to a sky-high pice and it would cost more money to drive to the supermarket than buying in the supermarket. Saudi Arabia was now the superpower instead of the United States because of the abundance of black gold there. People were 'fighting' for oil and occasionally some fist fights happened and got a few people killed.

As the last drop of oil was used up, the whole world had no electricity and nothing could be done properly without electricity. People started panicking and finally perished due to lack of food.

Nature has finally fought back against the humans after around 140 years of submission. Human abused the Earth too much and in the end they paid the price.

But how do we prevent this? Firstly, we must first recognize that the Earth do not have an infinite supply of oil for us to consume. Secondly, we must acknowledge the dire consequences if we do not do anything now. Thirdly, we must act, by reducing our consumption of electricity. eg. Off the lights when not using, do not on the air-con for the whole night.

It is not too late for us to salvage the situation. If we try to slow down the process of using up our limited supply of oil, scientist may find a new alternative that can replace oil to supply power to our homes.
