Human exploration for fossile fuels

I think that our dependence as the U.S and the world on fossil fuels needs to change we go to great lengths just to find it and when we do get it we don't make it last. But with the way things are now we need to keep searching for them no matter what it takes because our every day life cannot function right with out it. People say that they think that we should slow down with fossil fuels but, I don't think they really get what they are saying. Every day we all use cell phones, cars, make up, and just about every thing else you can think of is made up from fossil fuels. In my opinion I think we should slowly ween our selves off of fossil fuels but, with the way things are going right now it's out of the question.
