Highy charged motoring - 1 views

  •  
    This article does not directly relate to the topic "prices" but it does in the sense that people are spending a lot of money to create something that would be helpful to the world, but in the end, having little or no effect. In the end, I believe that people who spend money in some sort of a company, only aims for the marketing part to earn money regardless of the amount of resources they use.

Iraqi oil reserves estimated at 143B barrels - 2 views

  •  
    This article is about Iraq reserving around 143 billion barrels of oil and I believe that this article is very relevant to the topic scarcity as oil is a scarce resource in this world and yet people use them without caution. Soon enough, all the oil will be gone for people to use and we will have to use an alternative source, something renewable to provide energy for ourselves.
