interesting oil card
Came across this good oil card – could use with a variety of arguments.
US Oil demand will increase under present policies
Samuelson, 2006 (An Oil Habit America Cannot Break; [FINAL Edition] Robert J. Samuelson. The Washington Post. Washington, D.C.: Oct 18, 2006. pg. A.21)
Under present policies, U.S. oil demand will expand 34 percent by 2030, the Energy Department projects. There will be more people, cars, planes and travel. Imports would satisfy all of the increase. We should try to prevent or minimize that. With China and India’s oil demand increasing, American restraint would relax pressure on prices and reduce oil’s usefulness as a political weapon. Consuming 25 percent of world oil, we’re hardly powerless. But instead of doing what we might, we’re awash in delusions.
