Go Hybrid!
Foreign Oil
 
Hybrids can lower our dependence on foreign sources of oil.
According to figures from the Natural Resources Defense Council, the U.S. is home to only two percent of the world’s oil supply, but as a nation we use nearly 25 percent of the global supply. To get our oil fix, more than 50 percent of our demand must be met by outside sources. With an increase in fuel economy, hybrid vehicles conversely decrease our dependence on foreign sources of oil. This is an especially important point in today’s political climate. With turmoil continuing in some of the most oil-rich regions, it makes sense to be developing systems that limit dependence on this natural resource, and allows for a possible self-sufficient energy policy in time.
