- Synopsis
- Learn how oil fuels both politics and history! You&’re no idiot, of course. Just thinking about life without oil to heat your home gives you the chills. But when it comes to understanding the politics involved in getting it, you feel like your brain is running empty. The Complete Idiot&’s Guide® to the Politics of Oil helps you understand why we go to war over oil. In this Complete Idiot&’s Guide®, you get:• Compelling insights into how the discovery of oil in the Arabian Peninsula 50 years ago changed the global political landscape. • The relationship between so-called &“Big Oil&” and US energy, environmental, and national security policy—as well as prices at the pump. • Easy-to-understand explanations of what can be done to prevent oil spills and blowouts, how such accidents are cleaned up, and who pays for them.
