As far as oil goes, it seems to me to be at the very least shortsighted to continue to push for our economy to rely solely on a national resource which is already in increasing demand and for which we must compete with what will undoubtedly be the world's next superpower.
Yeah, we can continue to rely on oil, but when inevitably have to compete with china for our oil it seems rather foolish. Why wouldn't we put all our efforts towards making the need for oil as a fuel obsolete? It would be completely to our advantage to do so.
This attitude that somehow we don't need to worry about it, that if we can just put ourselves in a position to control the oil seems a bit naive to me since if we are willing to go to war for it, the chinese probably are also.
