U.S Energy Consumption

Yes, a problem does exist with the U.S energy consumption. The problem is that we are using more of the non-renewable resources over the renewable resources. This means that we'll soon run out of our non-renewable resources like uranium and petroleum. We could switch over to renewable resources, but it is expensive. Also we are just looking at the small picture by using the non-renewable resources and not considering the long run, the renewable resources. For example, we are using more coal than we can produce. In addition, we import more oil than we use from our own land. All the non-renewable substances are manufactured and are easy to make, yet the renewable substances are costly to use but much healthier for our ecosystem. One solution is we could use both non-renewable and renewable resources, but we could slowly use more renewable resources until the non-renewable resources are out of the picture.
