OILigarchy of Control

Learn why electric cars never came to its full fruition...
 
... and learn how alcohol was not developed into a full fledged fuel industry until only recently. One of the biggest reasons prohibition came about...it certainly did help the big oil industries.
 
Good cheer in friends is bad for business.

The 19th century was a period of great change and rapid industrialization. The iron and steel industry spawned new construction materials, the railroads connected the country and the discovery of oil provided a new source of fuel.
 
The discovery of the Spindletop geyser in 1901 drove huge growth in the oil industry. Within a year, more than 1,500 oil companies had been chartered, and oil became the dominant fuel of the 20th century and an integral part of the American economy.
 
When you think about how important oil is to the economy, how many wars have been fought over the stuff and its affect on global warming, you'd forget that it's a relatively recent commodity.
 
While is seems that our love of black gold has gone on forever, the oil industry as we know it is less than 100-years-old.
 
And as recently as 75-year-ago the oil rich nations of the Middle East were poor desert countries with small populations and even smaller wallets.
 
Things have changed a lot since then obviously. The United Arab Emirates, Dubai and Saudi Arabia are lands of the kind of conspicuous consumption not seen since the Indian Maharajas.
 
 

Don't worry boyos and girlholios. There's a huge structure there to chain you down the moment you are born.

 

SEEE?
