About

It is estimated that Americans consume more than 25 percent of the world's oil but have control over less than 3 percent of its proven supply. This unbalanced pattern of consumption makes it possible for foreign governments…to place the citizens of the United States in a stranglehold of supply and demand. Corsi and Smith expose the fraudulent science that has been sold to the American people: oil is a fossil fuel and a finite resource. This book presents authoritative research that oil is not a product of decaying dinosaurs and prehistoric forests. Rather, it is a natural product of the earth. The evidence cited by the authors suggests that oil is constantly being produced and it is brought to attainable depths by the centrifugal forces of the earth's rotation. The authors explore the international and domestic politics of oil production and consumption including the wealth and power of major oil conglomerates…and the political agenda of radical environmentalists and conservationists. The authors offer an understanding of the dangerous situation America faces because its currency is no longer tied to any precious metals such as gold. This situation could easily lead to the devastation of the U.S. economy if Middle Eastern countries enact current plans to accept only the Euro or gold-backed currencies. The significance of its message is sure to cause thoughtful people to reconsider the current dependence of the U.S. economy on imported oil.
