What worries me about that article is that we are thinking once again of sending money to armies of other countries. Usually when this happens we end up fighting the same folks we equiped about a decade or so later. I think it would be better to send our own troops instead of aiding the troops of other countries that could be killing our troops a few years from now. In regions as unstable as these you never know who will behind those weapons a week after you send them.
As for alternate sources of energy? Well the problem with most of those alternate sources is that as soon as they are made available the patents for them are bought up by the oil companies before they can do any damage to their profit. Intellectual property is not always a good thing. In fact, it's usually only a good thing for one person, and the rest of us get screwed.
