As for non-renewable resources, a big one of course is oil. In fact, as this invaluable resource slims down to where there's only a little left, countries all over the globe will be fighting for it.

Silence told me that he would be driving a hybrid car, as they start faster than gasoline fueled cars, but also they run longer. However, I think they are more expensive. However, I'm glad that scientists are trying to come up with alternative fuels other than gasoline. I know biofuels are already coming into the picture, and I read an article about them, and it said that when burned, biofuels release three times as much carbon dioxide or monoxide than fossil fuels. The article could be wrong however, and biofuels, if they turn out to be a success, can be grown back, as they are a renewable resource, unlike fossil fuels. Post your opinions on this.
