Summary Paragraph: Crude Awakening By Emma Davy
Our Assignment today was to summarize the article that we read about the worlds oil supply. It explained that without some help, it could run out very soon. It told us that oil drilling is very expensive, and so when half of the oil is drilled, the other half turns hard and is very hard to reach. Some turns into oil shale, which is a large rock filled with oil, and so it needs to be heated up to recieve the oil inside. Because of this, oil is needed to heat up the rock, so more oil is lost is gained. However, it is possible to drill for oil in remote areas such as Siberia or even the seafloor of the Caspian Sea. Also, OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) has a lot to do with this issue. War can influence the prices of oil, making it more valuble. My opinion is that we need to make more fuel efficient automobiles, so we can save more oil for whenever we need it most. But sadly, oil, just like natural gas is not renewable, so we need to save as much as we can to help in the future.
