I need to interview at least 3 people with this question. What are three challenges faced in this world (pollution,gas prices japan tsunami,ETC) any one wanna help? It can be whatever you think are the 3,most crucial,challenges the world is facing. you have to add first and last name (fake and beliveable if you dont want to share)

Well the conflict in the Middle East is most prevalent, I imagine, and influences much more. (E.I. gas prices.) But not even economically, because a great friend of mine returned from Iraq a week ago. It's a rather emotional experience which many don't experience.

Our "energy crisis" could be resolved since we have enourmous oil deposits in the Yukon/Alaska area, not to mention other places throught the continental US, or offshore drilling (The oil is leaking out anyway, people. Should we just harvest it, or let it trickle into the ocean?). Also, in Pennsylvania, there has been another enourmous deposit of natural gas, which would be a great source into which we may tap. So why isn't the government utilizing these resources we have? Instead they fund our enemy by buying oil from their homeland. Smart, congress. Smart. And if all this were to fail, Nuclear power is a great option anyway. France has one of the best economies in the world, greatly due to their energy sources. They have nuclear power plants on the islands off the coast. So, why don't we try that out?

Lastly (that I can think of), Socialist, Communist, and evolutionist theories/mindsets are directing our population in the wrong direction, but that is a whole can of worms that might get messy, so I'll stop here.
