The United States uses 25 percent of the world’s oil, yet it has only 4 percent of the world’s population and 3 percent of the world’s oil reserves. This book discusses ways the United States can find more oil on its own land, use its own oil more safely and efficiently, and escape the trap of buying oil abroad, to improve the quality of life and the environment in the future.
