In her video “The Political Chemistry of Oil”, (2010) Lisa Margonelli first asserts the importance of oil’s actual chemistry and later on links it to the political chemistry of oil and states how important the molecules of oil are relatively to the economics of it. She supports her claims through great research and physically being a apart of the topic, traveling all over the World to get to the bottom of this problematic issue. Her purpose is to make Americans aware of the fact that the rising prices of fuel isn’t all linked to the feeder and OPEC but to the actual molecules of oil in order to make Americans willingly reduce their usage of oil because in the end it will cost them more. Her tone is serious but with a burning passion about her topic.
