Thanks. Some former oil exporters are now oil importers, like Indonesia. Most likely we are very close to peak oil, as the rise in oil prices, the lack of major new oil discoveries and the fact that more and more countries are peaking on their own and some are turning into oil consumers rather than exporters. Any serious student of the oil industry, and we have a lot of them sitting in our excutive branch of the federal government, knew years ago that oil was approaching a critical point where increasing demand pressures would overwhelm flattening and eventually diminishing oil supplies. I believe this peak oil reality is the blueprint for all these military actions by the U.S. we've witnessed in oil producing regions of the world recently. Even as far back as 1990/1991 U.S. military and civillian planners realized the need to assert our influence in oil producing regions. They knew a day would come when we'd really want to be there. Exactly why it is prudent to support alternative energy, to end this oil/war madness.
