A consumer-driven economy like ours is dependent on cheap, reliable energy. We had darn well better be ready to fight, or we'll fall back into a Dark Age. The way I see it, it's a race between us and China for the oil, and we're a few steps ahead. As for the rest of the world - they can kiss our a$$es - and buy the oil we control at double.

Not only oil, but raw materials in general. Seen the price of steel lately? This could cause "Jimmy Carter" type inflation real soon.
