a weapon that start with z is the zumwalt class destroyer. it is being made in the us and it is the us's property
Oil is being produced 365 days a year.
We can. It's been done. But there's big money in keeping us dependent on oil company products.
A country that supplied the US's valuable oil was being invaded.
You could say so. About half the total oil imported to the US is used for transport-is your journey necessary? Travelling for business ought to be reducing, with modern internet facilities being used instead. But we see everywhere conferences being called on a global scale, and mass tourism being encouraged. Oil is also essential for plastics, but I'm old enough to remember the world before plastics, we used paper bags, and clothes made from natural materials. Well if and when the oil runs out we shall have to find alternatives, but may not be able to maintain our present way of life which does rely on oil so heavily.

Most oil contracts are valued in US dollars. Therefore, if the US dollar weakens, an oil producer will demand more dollars for the same oil, all other things being equal. -ecn
