global patterns and trends of consumption/production of oil
  1. case studies
    1. consumption
      1. United States
        1. trend: since the early 1980s oil consumption has gone up drastically, however in the early 1990s there was a decrease before rising again
          1. pattern: oil consumption has been increasing since it was first discovered
        2. production
          1. Venezuela
            1. pattern: have been consistently producing oil for decades, though there were some steep declines in 1999 and 2003
              1. trend: oil production is much less than it was in the 1980s
              2. Saudi Arabia
                1. pattern: produce a large amount of oil but every some years there is some significant decrease (due to war, price changes, etc) before rising again
                  1. trend: production increase until around 2007, now it's steady/declining
              3. contentions
                1. political
                  1. international relations: if a country needs to import oil, they must maintain good relations
                    1. carbon tax: if this is introduced, it makes oil more expensive and alternative options become more appealing
                    2. economic
                      1. invest in alternatives: as oil runs out, more energy companies and countries will invest in other sources
                        1. price of oil: more countries are developing and with more people demanding oil, the price steadily increases
                        2. environmental
                          1. oil spills: when transporting oil by sea or pipelines, there is always a risk. the oil causes immediate damage to the environment but also long term effects to be seen later
                            1. greenhouse effect/global warming: fossil fuels (like oil) are the major contributors so it's becoming more important to stop relying so much on oil and look into other options
                            2. social
                              1. Human cost: people go through some extreme lengths to gain/protect oil and many have died even
                                1. exploitation of workers: many unskilled and poor people are hired by oil companies to do the more dangerous jobs
                              2. maps/graphs
                                1. production
                                    1. consumption
                                      1. Q-meaning
                                        1. pattern: Middle east, Africa, Russia produces the most oil (200 mil tons)
                                          1. anomaly: Venezuela (S. America) also produces a LOT of oil (50-199.9 mil tons)
                                          2. oil production will continue to reach its peak in countries and decline
                                            1. will continue to find oil/have reserves
                                              1. consider anti and neo-Malthuasian views
                                              2. As the population grows and countries develop, oil will be consumed and produced more and more causing economic, environmental, social, and political problems in addition to a shortage.
