Definition of Problem: <span style="color: rgb(254,27,27);">Humans all over the world use petroleum on a daily basis. Whether it is for working, traveling, etc. Because so may people are starting to use petroleum, it is starting to run out. But why is this an important issue? Well, all the people that work and need petroleum would lose their job. People all around the world wouldn't be able to transport themselves and would lose communication withe friends or family in other countries unless they talk by phone. Imports and exports couldn't be gotten to other countries fastly. So less food in other countries and millions of people without jobs and more poverty. <span style="color: rgb(254,27,27);"> <span style="color: rgb(254,27,27);">But what if another fuel was invented? All these terrible consequences wouldn't happen. So, if we used ethanol or biomass more than what we already do petroleum could actually last longer. <span style="color: rgb(254,27,27);">(Mauricio)
