Oil companies
Ninety five per cent of the world oil is controlled by national oil companies. China ,India , are acting in concert with the other national oil companies developing their resources. We on the other hand pursue pollyannish policies in a nasty world. When push comes to shove I guess we will fuel our industry and military with solar, wind and corn power.

but our 5% of the oil business is really bad and nasty because they make money selling oil products, unlike all the other countries where they give it away so the poor can get around

Given that the US manages to consume 25% of the world's oil consumption with only 5% of the population, we do not seem to have a problem acquiring enough oil to satisfy our energy needs.
