China is using capitalism to take over the world. Hugo Chavez has threatened to choke off Oil to the U.S.. Bin Laden funded 9-11 with Saudi wealth earned from the American appetite for oil. Oil is the problem. It's also the solution.
A drastic jump away from an oil economy to solar, wind, nuclear and hydrogen could propel a company into a position of safety: immune to the OPEC pricing strategies. Replacing gasoline cars with electric cars could leave gasoline car companies in the same position as VHS manufacturers. India has rolled out the gasoline powered Tata. When China tries to export its Lifan model, it would find its car unwelcome in eclectic car countries. China's bureaucracy could be used as a weapon again China-- slow to change, it would be unable to shift gears and produce electric vehicles for the same price as the Tata.
The most patriotic thing an American could do is turn away from oil. The conversion process of moving away from oil, would mean new opportunities. Think about how many times people buy a new computer to keep up with the software requirements. An on-rush of new vehicles sales could buoy the economy. New fueling stations, new opportunties for manufacturers. All of these could be available to the country that opts to go away from oil: stop giving strength to Chavez and money to Bin Laden funders.
