Interesting to think of oil/petroleum dependence will and must end at some point in the future , and a transition made to some other sustaining energy source such as hydrogen when the necessity (eventuality) forces it .

There must be some attempt to control the profits/pricings from the present energy base/markets of oil to provide the necessary funding to make the transition later . Capitalists first and always , they are looking far ahead , imo , to that time .... Iraq has the cheapest per barrel oil accessability and quantity of any oil producer in the world presently , will be a jewel in the capitalist crown to democratize.

It is part of the game to control the market , provide the technology for these producers without letting them gain too large a monopoly and draining us in return , while we work on the future alternatives, and the domination of the new frontier technology which creates an entire new market in itself someday to be sold . Becoming free from dependency and creating a new domain of superiority in the process at some future time .

Iraq's infrastructure will be damaged greatly , and has already been . But enter the "rebuilders" who will stand to make billions NOW , while at the same time creating that "stability of markets " and hoped for cooperation until that time new-science fiction may become feasable fact in regards to energy generation. Our own societie's habits of consumption will have to undergo radical change in increments over time as well. But they fully intend to be at the lead of these new sciences and apps...and new energy markets .

They (think tanks) are looking far ahead imo....oil will not last forever, and that is no science fiction. Water is also a "resource" , that will be a huge factor in the future.
