Petroleum Paradox: For Better or For Worse?
"The
discovery of oil, in 1859, in Pennsylvania, transformed our way of
life; we are enveloped by petroleum products - from the shoes we wear,
to the materials our clothes are made of, to the way we heat our
houses, to our modes of transportation. Oil dependency
pollutes
the environment causing respiratory illness, endangers wildlife, and
necessitates the large scale loss of life as we search to secure
sources of oil overseas. How do we maintain our optimism despite this
rush to grab dwindling non-renewable energy assets, instead of focusing
on renewable energy and the prevention of global warming? This exhibit
seeks to raise awareness of our imperiled democracy and the Petroleum
Paradox. What do you think about the Petroleum Paradox and what is
happening in our oil dependent society and world?
