The political cartoon above shows what the "true cost" of oil really is. Oil being a very limited resource, its supply affects the whole world. From the ecosystem to wars with other countries. In this cartoon, a man is refilling his car and is looking at the oil prices, all of which have very serious consequences. The BP oil spill damaged very badly the Gulf of Mexico, the demand for oil can threaten our National Security and drilling for oil hurts the global ecosystem. The use of vehicles today is damaging the world by changing the global climate leading to global warming. With the world climate changing and wars breaking out over the supply of oil, new and clean sources of energy are needed. Many steps in the right direction are being made in solar, wind and tidal energy uses in the US today, but in order to keep our planet from further damage, places around the world must start taking more care for the environment and seek out cleaner sources of energy.
