text: do you think if it is possible ? ? ? western countries economy are stongly dependeted on oil , as an energy resources .in the other hand most of oil resources are located in mideast .do you think if western  economy would get its in-dependency  in this field in 20 years ??? and if the ansewr is yes how would it happens ?? it isn't just the western country economies dependent on it. one of the reason for gas price spikes have been a large increase in dependency from the biggest population countries, china and india. the problem is the entire world is dependent on a very limited supply of product. the western countries will never be come independent on their own supplies because they don't have enough supply to meet the demand. the only way that will change is if a new fuel supply comes along that is much cheaper and equal to or more efficient than fossil fuels, and it still requires us getting rid of the nearly 1 billion cars in the us currently.
