Research Book Post #1- The Future of Oil- Sanjay Patel- Pages 20-50

      In the first 30 pages of my book, The Future of Oil, Sanjay Patel builds a good foundation of knowledge one should know about the oil crisis in order to understand what is happening in the events he touches on. Patel talks about how the price of oil has never been that high in the past so now that they are extremely high it has taken time for people to adjust their lifestyles to it. He shows the effects that rising oil prices have on everyday people and how big of an effect it can have on their lifestyles. Patel acknowledges that oil is not a reliable source of energy for the worlds future and there are some short term alternatives to this problem, but as of now we do not have any long term solutions for this problem. Patel says that the only true way that we can make the switch from oil to a different source is if we reduce the demand for oil. This means that our world needs to become much more environmentally friendly and people need to start realizing the effects their actions have on the earth.
