“A Crude Awakening” by Emma Davy
Did you know that oil is the single most important product countries trade today? Over 90% of the worlds transportation runs on petroleum. But there are other alternitives to gas guzzling vehicals. Take the MiniCat which runs completely on compressed air.
Americans keep wanting bigger and bigger cars and s.u.vs.You can also buy a hybrid car.
People predict that 2.6 trillion barrels of oil are left. In 1956 M.King Hubbert introduced the idea of a oil production peak.
Once half the oil runs out, oil will become harder to drill.They will have to use oil shale. Oil shale is expensive to turn into oil. 
Today many countries rely on OPEC. That is the summary of A Crude Awakening.
WOW! That’s interesting you should right more on that kind of stuff. Good Job
p.s. I like the car in the pic haha
