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.
It is estimated that the world has enough oil reserves to last for about 50-80 years, but this is highly dependent on consumption rates and new discoveries. Advances in technology and the shift towards renewable energy sources are also impacting the future of oil usage.
Oil provide 40% of the total energy used in the world. China is the world's second-largest oil consumer behind the United States.
It is estimated that there are about 1.7 trillion barrels of proven oil reserves in the world. However, the actual amount of oil in the world is unknown as new reserves are continually being discovered.
There are many large oil deposits in the world. These include the Piceance and Uinta Basins, the Orinoco Belt, the Alberta Oil Sands, and Ghawar.
Most of the world's oil comes from the Middle East region, particularly from countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Iran. These countries have significant oil reserves and play a major role in global oil production.
Asia is a huge continental area of many countries, so which country do you mean? ' Iraq and Saudi Arabia are heavily dependent on exporting their oil - whether that makes them "too" dependent is a moot point at present, but will become a vital one in the future.
He thought the United States was too dependent on foreign oil
Food today is grown and shipped all over the world. Shipping anything uses fuel. Most transportation fuels are derived from oil. Therefore our food is dependent on oil.
Currently, very dependent.
The automobile industry, for one, is heavily dependent on oil.
The Persian Gulf or the eastern Mediterranean's economy is most dependent on the export of oil.
