Could be .. Sustained conservation and switching to friendly
sources could give the USA a means at least of keeping a handle on oil prices. Look at it this way. The USA is the customer and for a good businessman, the customer is always right. If the USA maintains a buyers market and the oil tankers sit offshore you can buy from the guys that you like.

A hundred years ago a huge tech boom led to the surge in production/demand of petroleum - Ford and the motorcar out front .... in the weaning from the oil teat there could be a powering of another tech boom imho - there have to be opportunities here ... good to keep in mind that such a weaning is inevitable in any case, barring the one in which the species blows itself up - the oil won't last forever
