Black Gold Stranglehold challenges conventional wisdom about oil, arguing that it is abiogenically produced rather than a finite fossil fuel. The book examines the political and economic implications of this theory, exploring topics such as global warming, oil conservation, U.S. dependence on foreign oil, and the petrodollar. It further investigates the roles of OPEC, terrorism, and governmental policies in shaping oil markets. Finally, the authors propose an action plan for achieving U.S. oil independence, advocating for increased domestic exploration and refining capacity.
