The Romanian President Traian Basescu, Luxembourg's Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, and Austria's Chancellor Werner Faymann were at the European Union summit on March 1, 2012. This summit took place in Brussels. These political figures were hoping to figure out a way to make their economy better. Unemployment has gone up to its highest and the Euro has dropped significantly. These powerful people believe that becoming a more energy-efficient will help their economy. The Romanian President said that this could be possible through the discovery of a large amount of gas reserves that is offshore in the Black Sea.
Every continent should start to become a more energy-efficient place to live. Our non-renewable resources are running out. What will we do then? I realize people are talking about, but it might not be enough. At least the Romanian President Traian Basescu, Luxembourg's Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, and Austria's Chancellor Werner Faymann have somewhat of a plan. The United States is supposed to be the most well of anybody, but we are in a lot of debt, we are lazy, and most of us do not really care. It is sad to see human beings this way.
I was surprised to learn that the Euro was established in 1999. That was when Poland was invited into the United Nations. So I looked a little more into it and found out that only 17 countries out of the 27 countries use the Euro. I thought the European Union involved and had all the European countries in it. I also thought the Euro has been around a lot longer than 13 years.
I think it is great to see people in power working together to solve a problem. As human beings we should do this more often. To make a difference that could last lifetimes, now, we would always learn and remember those people. We only have one life and one world, we should make it count.

This does put it in perspective on how the US is behind Europe. The most stunning part was how few European countries were actually in the Union and used the Euro on 17 out of 27. That’s a little over half with their own oil reserve it should help them relieve themselves from foreign dependence.
