Due to the size and nature of this issue, and the scope of this project, I have only been able to scrape the surface of the oil dilemma.  There are many other perspectives, issues and viewpoints that, when investigated, will present a more complete view than I have been able to present in my limited study.  This is a vast topic and, because of it's growing importance, a thought provoking one at that.  Therefore, please use this bibliography only as a starting point for further study.
