         <description><![CDATA[<div>In this video it covers how oil is used in our economy. The main way oil is used in today's economy is with transportation. As well though oil can be used in many different applications like in industrial fuels and heating in residential buildings. Without any of these applications our living quality will be poorer since we wouldn’t have transportation to get around town, or import things from other countries. We wouldn’t have heating in our homes for when the temperature outside gets colder.&nbsp; &nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>I chose this video because I believe it’s important to understand how oil is consumed in our economy so the process of cutting back on oil to conserve it is made easier. Without understanding how oil is consumed in our economy, making cuts will be difficult since we don’t know what consumes the most oil and what consumes the least amount of oil. &nbsp;</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This video outlines the procedure on how oil is made. Oil generally could be made from decomposed prehistoric plants and animals, and is harvested by a pump that runs 24/7. The pump collects the oil from the ground then gets sent to the surface, where it is checked for the water to oil ratio. After the oil is checked for the water to oil ratio it is taken to a reservoir to separate the oil and water. Once the oil is separated from the oil it goes through a filtration process which then allows it to be used by consumers. &nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>I chose this video because in an oil crisis there is not enough supply to match the demand, and I believe that understanding how oil is made will help with understanding why countries cannot make and export more oil. As well with understanding how oil is made could potentially lead people to appreciate the oil since it has a complex production process.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In this video it talks about how oil affects the economy. One way is that from the beginning of the pandemic oil prices went down since the demand for oil was nowhere to be found. Once the world started to reopen again, many people had the desire to get out of their homes since they have been stuck inside them for a long time. This caused the demand for oil to rapidly increase, and the supply of the oil stayed the same.&nbsp; &nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>I chose this video because when it comes to understanding how oil affects the economy, knowing what to do financially with investing can lead to huge profits after the crisis is over. Certain oil companies will come back stronger after the crisis and other companies, and knowing which ones are going to come back stronger is useful information when it comes to investing.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In this video it covered how oil is legally and safely disposed of. The refining process of oil involves the process of distillation and hydrotreating. Distillation involves boiling the oil to allow the oil to be separated into its different elements to allow for easier distribution of the bad chemical components. Hydrotreating involves allowing the hydrogen to not react with the oil since hydrogen can be explosive under certain conditions. &nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>I chose this video because although having a shortage of oil in an oil crisis does not mean that oil cannot go bad, and knowing how to dispose of it properly and safely is important. Oil can also be found in a condition where it is unsafe to export and use, which knowing how to dispose of it properly keeps the people and environment around us safe.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>With this website it illustrates what happened during the crisis in 1973 and 1978-1979. What ended up causing the crisis was that oil consumption skyrocketed while supply was limited. Many businesses, corporations, factories, and regular consumers would purchase tons of oil since affordability of material things, like cars, were becoming extremely affordable to the average person. As people were consuming oil the supply was running low, which caused conflict between the western world and oil rich countries, which resulted in the western world getting their oil supplies cut.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>I decided to use this website because it demonstrates the oil crises that have happened in the past. Learning about how these crises occurred in the past will help us learn about why current and future oil crises will happen. As well, learning about how they occur could help in identifying when the next oil crisis is about to occur, allowing us to be more prepared and get things planned out.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In the website it demonstrates different things revolving around the oil crisis right now. With oil prices rising, the main cause of this is the announcement of the OPEC cuts coming up. OPEC is an organization that coordinates and unify petroleum policies across participating countries to ensure that fair and stable prices are given. Countries like Iran, who import to Canada, are slowing their production down, which affects Canada heavily since we mostly rely on major countries like Iran to give us our oil.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>I chose this website because it illustrates that even though Canada has its own oil mine in Alberta, our country depends on other countries for oil, since our oil consumption is higher than our oil production.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In this website it talks about possible solutions to oil crises in order to help avoid them going into the future. Moving to renewable sources will allow for the non-renewable sources to be used less, with less oil being used the demand for oil will drop and the supply of oil will remain the same. Another solution to oil crises is utilizing energy-efficient products. With these types of products it lowers the consumption to operate and may also allow for a longer life span. Think of this like using an LED bulb to replace traditional bulbs.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>I chose this website because eventually in some point in time the oil supply in the world will run out. In order to avoid this, preventing as much oil consumption as possible is key since major machines like planes and transport trucks need oil. By reducing consumption it allows us to have more oil for these major machines, which transport the things we need as a country. &nbsp;</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In this website it goes into detail about how oil can be transported in, out, and throughout Canada. Some ways oil can be transported is by rail, truck, marine tankers, and the most popular is with pipelines. With oil being transported by rail it’s typically more expensive then pipelines and tankers, and is only really used when pipeline infrastructure is unavailable. Having pipelines transport oil allows for the oil to be shipped in batches, which overall makes better since you get larger sums of oil per shipment.&nbsp; &nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>I chose this website because it shows how oil is transported in, out, and within Canada. Understanding how oil is transported allows us to grasp how much oil can move, how fast, and identify potential problems that may occur while transporting oil that may cause an oil crisis.&nbsp; &nbsp;</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In this image it shows oil being imported into Canada. This shows Canada depends on other countries to supply us with oil since we as a country do not have enough oil supply for our countries oil consumption.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In this image it shows the oil mining sands in Alberta. This demonstrates that we as a country have our own oil supply and we can do different things with it. One being, that we can use for our own use. Another being exporting it to other countries for something in return.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1) While learning about oil crises the thing that surprised me the most is how it is made. I knew previously that oil came from the ground, but I didn’t know how it was created, and learning about it was fascinating.&nbsp; &nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>2) A real life example of the oil crisis is what the world is experiencing right now with high gas prices, crazy inflation, which all came after lock down since we all want to travel everywhere.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>3) If I were to pass this information on to someone else I would think the most important thing to tell them is the history of why oil crises happen. By doing this it will allow them to understand what causes an oil crisis and how to become prepared in the event an oil crisis breaks out.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div>]]></description>
