(Latin Pulse: May 5, 2008) Rising gas prices and the threat of oil shortages around the world are nothing new. What is surprising are the claims by one of the United States' main suppliers that it's already running out.
Mexico is one of the main suppliers of crude oil to the United States, but recently that country has experienced a reduction in oil production. That concerns not only the oil industry but also Mexican citizens.
Are we closer to the flash point than we thought, or is this just a political ploy to put pressure on the United States?
Are other nations leaving the U.S. behind in the race to adopt new energy technologies, and will our oil addiction create a drag on the economy?
En Español:
La adicción al petróleo y alternativas de combustibles. El aumento en los precios del barril y la amenaza de escasez de petróleo alrededor del mundo no es nada nuevo. Lo que sorprende son las declaraciones de uno de los mayores surtidores para los Estados Unidos, de que los yacimientos de petróleo se están agotando.
México es uno de los importantes surtidores de crudo para los EEUU, recientemente el país ha sufrido una reducción en la producción petrolera. Este hecho preocupa no solamente a la industria pero también a los ciudadanos de ese país.
¿Estamos acercándonos al punto culminante de escasez o es solamente una perspectiva política para presionar a los EEUU?
¿Están otras naciones dejando atrás a los estados Unidos en la competencia para adaptar nuevas tecnologías al uso de combustibles, y estará creando nuestra adicción al petróleo una fricción en la economía?
