Oil plays such an important role in our lives. Oil, money, politics and power go hand in hand. It’s amazing how much we depend on oil just to live our lives daily. I can remember when gas was $.99 per gallon and now it’s usually around $2.50 in the area I live in. The price has went up a great deal and there are many reasons.

Tom gets straight the basics and then elaborates, so the book has a certain flow that is constant throughout.
