And the reason we won WWII (and why the Japs attacked Perl Harbor) was over access to oil, as well as our ability to refine it.
Without a vibrant, self sustaining petroleum based economy WE CANNOT WIN ANOTHER MAJOR MILITARY CONFLICT.
Killing our oil industry is quit literally treason.
That’s why China is forcing solar energy and battery systems. It’s cheaper in going to war with us by watching us destroy ourselves. They won’t need to fire one missile. We are paying them to kill us.
