In social studies we read the article Crude Awakening. This article is mainly about where we are getting oil and how much longer we will be able to get it. This points out that oil is one of the main things we rely on. Oil makes many daily products, like plastics, tires, and of corse the oil we use for fuel. Scientest believe that small oil spots will run out as soon as 2015. So what will we do then? Well, like many countrys we will have to rely on OPEC. What is OPEC you may ask? It stands for Organization of Petroeum Exporting Countrys. OPEC controlls moast of the worlds oil, and includes Algeria, Indonisia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nygeria, Quatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emitates, and Venezuela. So if the USA ran out of oil we would have to buy it from OPEC, which can be verry expensive. Since oil provides 40 persent of the worlds oil we can’t cut back on all of it but we can cut back on some of the oil products we use. I know they are more expensive but if you drive hybreds you save oil, and if you buy more efficiant heating and cooling systems you will also save oil. Oil is non-renewible since it is made of old anible bone pressured by the grownd for thousans of years, so if we want to keep driveing cars and doing all the modern day things then we should be careful of how much oil we are useing and start to find a solution for it.

They were like this for six centuries. But durring world war one the ottoman empire took sides with germany, because of a secreat treaty.
