Why fight the idea? Oil is the root cause of all our problems in the ME now An excellent question - "why fight the idea" of reducing dependency. Answer: it is profitable to owners of oil to continue on the same course. That amounts to several trillion in assets. Try to devalue that with a tech or procedural fix, and you get several trillion dollars in resistance. Conclusion: only by getting Oil Inc. out of the White House and out of the Beltway can any progress be made in the interests of the citizenry that pay in money and blood for the current arrangement. Wind, solar, and ingenuity can replace the Iraqi reduction in short term, along with methyl hydrates, the rest of the dependency over a few years. Ingenuity in usage reduction could make 10% I would think, practically overnight. But that requires leadership unencumbered by personal profit.
