oil in the desert
A highly controversial topic that is often in the news is oil in the desert. Much of the oil used in the United States comes from deserts in the Middle East. There are places like Saudi Arabia that have a lot of control on the United States because of all the oil that has been found in their deserts. There has also been a lot of controversy in the United States about whether or not they should be looking for oil in the cold deserts in Antartica and Alaska.
