As I look at every media outlet, television, radio, websites, newspapers, and in books I see many Americans focusing on one topic. Oil. Everywhere I turn I see the effects of oil in a culture that is quickly becoming dangerously dependent on it. Despite the push for the elimination of fossil fuels, America is still thirsty for oil. The focus of this blog is to find and examine the political aspects and repercussions of the conflict over oil and see how they come into play in our oil focused nation. Instead of just another rant on oil, I hope to look at the politics of oil as well as a commonly overlooked aspect, American culture. Despite the dramatic impact of culture on the oil conflict, it is widely forgotten and as a result, people are missing a major side of the story.
