The Oil Age
The Oil Age refers to the period marked by the dominant use of petroleum to power industries, transportation, and economies worldwide. Since the late 19th century, oil has become a fundamental resource, fueling cars, planes, manufacturing, and electricity generation. Its availability has shaped modern society, enabling rapid economic growth and technological advancements. However, reliance on oil also contributed to environmental concerns like pollution and climate change.
