Excerpt

This discusses the socio-economic and environmental ramifications of the oil industry, particularly in regions rich in oil resources. It tells how the wealth generated from oil, often referred to as "black gold," frequently leads to exploitation, conflict, and environmental degradation rather than prosperity for local communities.
