You are to select a specific energy resources topic / issue for the subject of this paper. This means you are to pinpoint a particular topic / issue that you are interested in studying. You should try to be geographically, temporally and/or conceptually restrictive. Focus yourself in idea, space and/or time. Find a topic / issue about which you can tell a relatively self-contained, interesting, coherent story. Make sure to stay focused on your topic! Most of all, enjoy yourself and learn…

I have selected oil as a topic but I’m going to leave the issue associated with it up to you.

The full requirements for the assignment and some sources I have annotated are in the attachments.
