Question: Which is the best plan to make the fossil fuel supply last longer?
Answer: reduce electricity use
Hypothesis: reducing the use of electricity causes the fossil fuel supply to last longer
Supporting facts: sent1: as the use of something decreases, the use of things used to produce that something decreases sent2: length of time means period of time sent3: oil is used for producing electricity sent4: fuel supply is a kind of resource sent5: oil is a kind of fossil fuel sent6: to last longer means the length of time that something lasts increases sent7: if a resource is limited in supply then that resource will run out sent8: natural gas is used for generating electricity by burning in a power plant sent9: electricity causes less pollution than gasoline sent10: natural gas is a nonrenewable resource sent11: limiting a source of something tht has a negative impact on something else has a positive impact on that something else sent12: fossil fuels are a kind of energy resource sent13: electricity means electrical energy sent14: to decrease something means to reduce something sent15: coal is used to produce electricity by burning in coal-fire power stations sent16: a supply of something is a source of that something sent17: how long something lasts is a measure of how long that something is available sent18: natural gas is a kind of fossil fuel sent19: as the use of something decreases , the use of the source of that something will decrease sent20: as the use of a resource decreases , the length of time that resource being available will increases sent21: fossil fuels have high potential energy sent22: oil is a source of energy sent23: as the use of alternative fuels increases , the use of gasoline will decrease sent24: using less of a resource increases the availability of that resource sent25: oil is a nonrenewable resource
Reasoning: [BECAUSE] how long something lasts is a measure of how long that something is available [AND] as the use of a resource decreases , the length of time that resource being available will increases [INFER] int1: as the use of a resource decreases, the length of time that that resource will last increases [BECAUSE] int1 [AND] to last longer means the length of time that something lasts increases [INFER] int2: decreasing the use of a resource causes that resource to last longer [BECAUSE] fossil fuels are a kind of energy resource [AND] fuel supply is a kind of resource [INFER] int3: a fossil fuel supply is a kind of resource [BECAUSE] int2 [AND] int3 [INFER] int4: decreasing the use of a fossil fuel supply causes that fossil fuel supply to last longer [BECAUSE] oil is used for producing electricity [AND] oil is a kind of fossil fuel [INFER] int5: fossil fuel is used for producing electricity [BECAUSE] int5 [AND] as the use of something decreases, the use of things used to produce that something decreases [INFER] int6: as the use of electricity decreases, the use of fossil fuels decreases [BECAUSE] a supply of something is a source of that something [AND] as the use of something decreases , the use of the source of that something will decrease [INFER] int7: as the use of something decreases, the use of the supply of that something decreases [BECAUSE] int6 [AND] int7 [INFER] int8: as the use of electricity decreases, the use of a fossil fuel supply decreases [BECAUSE] int4 [AND] int8 [INFER] int9: decreasing the use of electricity causes a fossil fuel supply to last longer [BECAUSE] int9 [AND] to decrease something means to reduce something [INFER] int10: reducing the use of electricity causes the fossil fuel supply to last longer
