Many years ago I decided our energy policy was to pump every other nation around the globe dry of oil before we seriously tap ours. Pump theirs low price and save ours for future critical need as a last resort.

Seems like a dumb strategy when we have hundreds of years of fossil fuels available in the US and buying overseas funds many of our enemies. Chances that humanity can't come up with viable energy alternatives in the next few hundred years? ZERO. Think fusion and technologies not yet dreamed of.
