It is practically used in every sphere of our daily needs.
It is used in automobiles, industries, railways, airways and waterways.
Another most significant use of oil is used in making LPG, i.e. cooking gas.
It is making a huge impact on the global economy. Rise in oil prices leading to inflation. It is a major factor in the rise in prices of goods. Rich people are mostly getting its advantage. And the poorer are becoming poor; there is shortage in supply of products. This leads to high demands. These are pressurizing our economy. And hence, the government is finding difficulty to tackle the problem. Individual household expenses are increasing. They are finding difficulty in saving money. They are feeling insecure. These are producing a wide gap between rich and poor.
There is also huge impact on many economies of nations.
Some nations are poor, and some are rich. These lead to difference in import of oil and export of oil. This is bringing conflicts between different nations, and their governments.
There is a huge demand of oil globally. Some nations are trying to capture the richly populated areas of oil. And therefore, there is occurring disagreements between governments, and hence wars between them.
