Water:
The Oil of the Twenty-First Century?
This conversation between an environmental scientist, a petroleum geologist,
and a professor of Russian and Eurasian studies explores
the ecological and economic relationship between
oil and water and the significance of each as (re)sources of power
in the twenty-first century. How are oceans part of a larger system
that affects access, production, and the meaning of oil and water?
How do the
politics and culture of a region like the former Soviet Union affect
the global exchange of oil and water? How are attitudes
toward oil as a source of energy shifting, as water becomes the resource
of conflict and energy production?
