4. Addiction to Oil
No Doubt We Have An Oil Addiction
No one can deny the fact that the US is addicted to oil. "The first step to fixing your problem is admitting that you have one." That statment not only applies to the 12step process at an AA meeting, it also applies to our nation right now. We are hoplessly addicted to oil and the only way we are going ti fix it is by A. finding an alternative ebergy source and B. by gradually weaning ouselves off of it. By doing those things then it will be possible to bet our addiction.
