Well the U.S. may well be on its way to becoming the cleanest fuel burning, solar power producing, trash recycling, environmentalist tree hugging nation in the world. But the rest of the world is far from attaining environmental nirvana and will need oil to function well beyond the foreseeable future.
Id wager that once we become independent from foreign and domestic oil. We'll have cornered the market by continuing to produce oil, creating a glut that will keep prices down and other oil producing nations in the poor house.
The U.S. and Texas will have the world by the balls.
