True enough but how do you apply the concept to America allowing itself to become dependent on foreign energy suppliers when we could have had energy independence by exploiting our own resources? At the very least it should be considered a potential national security problem.

Do you suspect the oil industry is/was part and parcel in fomenting this foolishness?
