<br/><br/> "In the early 1800s, most of America's energy needs were met using animal and human labor plus wood, a renewable resource. As energy became more affordable and available, it relieved the need for human and animal labor while increasing wealth. Gains in wealth have spurred improvements in human and environmental welfare. Not only is energy essential to life, it has reduced poverty and starvation while lengthening life span." (WORLD & I) This article examines the "technology and economics of reducing petroleum use in the United States" and identifies the hybrid vehicle and electrified car as alternatives to petroleum usage.
