The Future of the Oil Supply
Throughout our lifetimes there has been one thing among others that our society and our world depends on in our everyday lives, oil. Oil is one of the things that help our world function in a way other natural resources haven’t been able to. Oil powers our cars, planes, trains, boats and other vehicles that enabled us to travel around the world in a more efficient and quicker time frame. Oil helps us to run our appliances at homes and at our jobs each and every day. There are wars being fought as we speak around the world over control of the lands where oil is due to the fact that it can bring immense wealth and power to those who own it and are able to sell it in the global market. It is up to us as a society to use our resources in an effective way in order to ensure that generations of people after us are still able to utilize the comforts that an ample oil supply brings to our lives as well as begin to develop new technologies that can be used in our everyday lives that do not require the use of oil. With all that being said, the ways that oil impacts not only our lives but the lives of all the people around us, in ways that most may not even realize, one thing is a definite, once we run out of oil its gone and its not coming back.
From all the way back to as early as the 1980’s and even before then, there have been conflicts between countries for lands that control oil because simply controlling oil will give you limitless power and with that power will bring prosperity and wealth to those in control in the future for many years to come. The Middle East and countries like Saudi Arabia are filled with oil deposits in the Earth that they are constantly selling to everyone around the world. One thing is certain, when the exports of your country are comprised mainly of a natural resource that will soon be gone you better have a
