To last this country.... except that oil is a fungible commodity. If the rising middle class in China and India can bid more for it than we can they'll get it. Good luck getting the Congress, or oil companies, to keep "our oil in our country". Ain't gonna happen.

Let's be honest - I'm sure 150 years ago, when people lit their homes with whale oil, that they imagined that there would be plenty of whale blubber "out there".

Did not happen to be true, and the same will be true for petroleum.

Human Caused Climate change is a crock of horseshit and in the long run going to destroy people's respect for the environment, if only because they'll lump this junk science in with such useful things as waste remediation, soil erosion and sufficient potable water for all.

Gene, you are paraphasing ideas or subpositions proported as facts by many organization in the past. Japanese empire 1937, East India trading company 1800s, British crown in both the 18th, 19th, and early 20th century. The names and commodoties have changed with the times. However, the facts and circumstances proposed didn't happened or didn't occur as proposed.

War, revolution, technology, and money will tip the circumstances into U.S. favor.
