  • @iAshGotGame You're wrong - cars take up a huge amount of our energy needs and they dump huge amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. Cars with combustion engines are very wasteful and inefficient - a car with ICE is only 25% efficient. Most oil and imported oil goes to transportation - cars, trucks and planes.

  • @Ralphdraw3 Yes but energy requirements for automobiles make up a small percentage of total energy needs, and things like homes can have their electricity powered by natural gas plants and be heated by natural gas.

  • @iAshGotGame What do you usually run it on? as far as I know there are no "natural gas" stations in my area.

  • @Ralphdraw3 Neither. It's an electric car, so I guess you could say it is indirectly able to run on both gasoline or natural gas.

  • @iAshGotGame Does your car run on gasoline or natural gas?

  • @Ralphdraw3 Because the US refuses to support domestic energy programs until resources of countries such as Saudi Arabia are depleted because, when that happens, the price of non renewable energy will skyrocket (it makes more sense for the US government to wait until they tap into their energy reserves). Another reason may be the stoppage of subsidies. Even in Canada, where I live, (a country rich in oil) the price greater than that of the US (around $4.50/gallon).

  • @iAshGotGame Why is gasoline selling above $3 a gallon?

  • The USA has more natural gas than Saudi Arabia has oil...

  • @ned347

    Thank you for pointing out the obvious. :D

  • @proudtobepinoy1 The Philippines is abundant in GOD- gold, oil, and deuterium.
