Oil won’t last; our ingenuity to live with less of it is our test now
But the oil is running out, and the world is going to change. We can handle that change sensibly or wait for the bottom to fall out and see that change be traumatic.
We’re on the latter path, and we need to get off it.
Deadly dependence on Mideast oil
Sadly, we will pay a steep price for having frittered away the years, even the decades since the oil shocks of the 1970s. We were warned, repeatedly, that we had to reduce our dependence upon Mideast oil. That would have meant stringent conservation measures, boosts in energy taxes, the exploitation of new oil fields, and the building of additional refineries.
We did none of that. We were not able to summon the necessary political will. And now the bill is coming due.
Ethnically diverse oil zone a tinderbox
“The situation could become a nightmare here,” said Brig. Torhan Abdulrahman, an ethnic Turkmen who oversees a force composed mostly of Arabs. “Oil could cause civil war. It is our curse.”

Iraq’s Oil Sector
Iraq’s oil could be the most critical element in determining the success or failure of the reconstruction effort, but the recent attacks on two major pipelines and the assassination of a top oil executive illustrates the fragility of Iraq’s oil-export sector. In order to secure the sector, Gal Luft of the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security urges the U.S. to view the pipeline war as a high priority and to provide additional funding to bring Iraqi oil back on-line on a larger scale and with greater reliability.
