Answer 23

A complete energy crisis will happen again...just like it did back in the late 70's early 80's...it will upset the entire economy because people are so dependent on it. Think about it- the goods we buy at stores are delivered by trucks, truck gas goes up, which means the cost of delivery is a lot more, resulting in a higher priced good...not only that, but Bush is an idiot, and instead of helping the situation, he's creating inflation by printing more and more money, which in turn is making the american dollar more and more worthless...let's hope it doesn't happen...
