Well there's cattle. Texan and cowboy are nearly synonymous.

We got flooded with oil because our technology improved, dramatically. Deep ocean and arctic drilling became feasible. And we found a way to use up the fields we found much quicker. Which is why the North Sea and Prudhoe Bay are already heading south in production. We started wars between the Iraqis and the Iranis so they had to sell oil cheap to fund their armies. We protected the Saudi dictatorship and gave lucrative contracts to Bin Laden Construction to keep them friendly and pumping at high speed. Mexico came onstream in a big way. Also, our mfg. infrastructure went to hell in a handbasket and that cut demand.
