PETROLEUM Description : its is also know as crude oil and is a natural occuring flamable liquid consisting of complex mixtures of hydrocarbons various molecules and other organic liquid compounds which are found beneath the earths crust. Where its found : petroleum is found beneath the earths crust and also found in many different parts of the world such as mexico alaska california louisiana michigan oklahoma texas wyoming iran iraq suadia arabia kuwait algeria libya nigeria indonesia soviet union and venezuela. Uses : when seperated its is used for different types of fuels and other daily objects such as asphalt tar bitumen plastic tools bags toys candles clothes hand lotion petroleum jelly perfume dish washing liquids ink bubble gum car tires ammonia heart valves and tennis shoes Policy Statement : i think the use of petroleum will not completely stop but should be cut down and the use of it for gas should stop due to the fact that there is hybrid cars and solar power cars and that another and safer natural resouse should be used foe the everyday items and essentials and it would also cut down on the cost for people and the fight for petroleum. It effects the individual lives due to the cosumption of all inividuals buying all the same products and the resource can be substituted other than using petroleum for little things such as gum and hand lotion. Communities are also effected from the use of petroleum such as in mexico and suadia arabia these owners or bosses of the compoany are running people out of their own homes to drill or mine for the source and many jobs are taken from people and forced out to live no where and have no money to relocate. The global and local economy are being exrtacted and killing off the local and global economy by having a higher demand for petroleum and only one third off the demand is consumed by the U.S and other similar problems exist in other parts of the world such as japan, and germany and is also giving locals jobs but the pay and the finding of the petroleum is lowering day by day which is a reason why another resouces should take the place of petroleum so the valuable source doesnt not competely run out.
