Perhaps on day our cars will have electricity powered engines and run on batteries that must be recharged every few hubdred kilometers . Or, perhaps the batteries will draw on the sun's energy and recharge even as we drive. Who knows what the future holds ? One thing that is certain, however

Why is oil priced and traded in U.S. dollars?

Why is oil priced and traded in U.S. dollars? Why is oil priced and traded in U.S. dollars? Oil is priced in dollars because through Bretton Woods the dollar was pegged to gold and everything else was essentially pegged or floated to the dollar.

PETROLEUM for humanity 

Petroleum’s importance to humankind took a giant leap in the late 1800’s when it replaced coal as the primary fuel for the machines of the industrial revolution. In today's industrialized society , petroleum means power . It provides the mechanical power to run machines and industries and also the political power that comes from being able to shut down the machines and industries of those who depend on you for their oil supply.
