Although there is roughly 85.9 billion barrels of undiscovered technically recoverable crude oil currently in the form of oil shale located beneath our soil, we still rely on imports from foreign countries.

Subsequently, all the countries’ economy started to revolve around petroleum, and some of them began to build a monopoly in oil becoming in world power nations. But not all the countries were benefited from that, for example, in the actually Venezuela is suffering one of the biggest economic recessions due to the dependency of petroleum in its economy. According to Arturo Uslar Pietri in his article “Sowing the Oil,” the only profitable use of the petroleum’s incomes is investing them in other technologies, which could be alternative fuels, and other economic sector as tourism and agriculture. Also, Arturo Uslar Pietri claimed that basing the world economy in oil would create a monopoly and enrichments of only a few countries meanwhile others will fall in depression and impoverishment. The development of alternative fuels will create a new and equal market for the world that will increase each one’s economy without depend in one non-renewable source, as the petroleum, and it will create sufficient jobs for those who are working on the petroleum industry and those who are…

Finding and using oil has been part of what has made America grow in strength and in resources. And while the country currently isn’t completely energy independent it is a goal of the country to produce more oil than is imported. Oil is one of the main contributors of CO2 into the atmosphere.

Food is made with the power oil provides by powering the equipment that grows crops. The crops then need to be transported wherever it needs to…

    Although the United States (U.S.) is the third largest for oil producing (the U.S. produces 10 percent of the world’s oil and consumes 24 percent), most of the oil we use is imported. The U.S. imported about 60 percent of the oil consumed in 2006 (Baird, 2008). About half the oil we import comes from the western hemisphere. Oil imports contribute heavily to the U.S. trade deficit, and the U.S. is forced to make political decisions that it might not make otherwise if they were not so dependent on other countries (Baird, 2008). With this said I have made my decision to agree that the U.S. should invest in alternative sources of energy, such as wind and solar power because this will allow us to become less dependent on other countries for our oil supply.…

Most of our food, clothing, electronics, hygiene products and transportation simply would not exist without this resource” (Jamall 2012, para. 1). “Petroleum is the most critical energy resource for modern economies, supplying about 40% of the world’s primary energy and nearly all of the fuel for the world’s transportation systems” (Greene, Hopson & Li 2006,…
