    Lilly F:When reading both Tiago’s and Sven’s pages, I agreed with there positions about oil. I agreed with Tiago when he said that oil is going to become scarce and that it is our personal consumption that is part of the problem. I also agreed that oil is polluting the Earth .I also liked the video on how to refuel a hydrogen car. I agree with Sven how oil is a huge impact on our environment and the use of oil in a combustion engine releases green house gases. I liked the many pictures as well on the blog. Overall it was very well done. ~Lilly F~ 1/9/08
    Andrea H.:I agree with many of the points made in this blog. I agree with Tiago's statement that oil is scarce and will eventually run out. This is a huge problem that, if not dealt with, could lead to many problems in the future. People will have no way to travel long distances quickly, but by then it will be to late to fix the problem. I agree with Sven that our addiction to oil has huge impact on our environment. If the polar ice caps melt, then many species that call these frozen regions their home may become extinct. --Andrea H.
    Priya:I agreed with Sven- that oil has direct links to both violence and environmental issues today. I liked the proof provided to back this opinion as well. However, I disagree when Tiago says the US is taking big steps toward alternative energy. Actually, I believe research in this field needs to be funded and supported more by the government. Overall, I like your blogs very much- they were packed with information, facts, and videos.
