Crude Awakening

Did you hear about crude awakening and what it is ? Well I will tell you about it either way. Crude awakening is bad, people use to much oil and it is causing the world to run out. There is only 2.6 trillion barrels left of oil in the world which is 42 gallons per barrel and it is worth different amounts of money depending on what country or who sells. Oil also sells by year. Oil is made out of a rock called malstone or oil shale. Have you ever heard of M. King Hubbert ? He observered that the flow of oil comes to a peak, then declines just as fast as it got there. Did you know that as well as other items like water or sometimes store bought items that oil is delivered by truck ? Do you know where all of the oil is ?
