Maybe. Most of the engineering sources say Iraq's oil infrastructure is seriously degraded, and it will be several long years before it can significantly boost it's productive capability (more, if the Turkmen and Kurds fight over the oil in the north....) :( It would likely already be at full production (dictator or no dictator) if not for the 8 years of sanctions. As for: "Maximizing stable sources worldwide will avoid a price crunch as China increases usage exponentially." >>> I agree completely. So, too, will cost-effective conservation and 'new tech' developments (such as fuel cells) contribute to stable energy prices. >>> Also critically needed: new laws mandating reform and build-out of the interconnections between our regionalized electricity grids... and nationwide 'net-metering' rules. >>> The government - and our 'dinosaur-industry subsidizing' biased tax system is also a major problem standing between us and an efficient energy economy, and national energy security, IMHO. >>> As in many things: the government is one of the biggest problems here.
