Re: Secretary of State
The many little wars the US has been involved in for the last several decades have all been about oil ... just not so blatantly.
Perhaps if we were able to build nuclear plants, like we used to do and like France still does, we wouldn't need to rely so much on foreign oil.
But the very word "nuclear" seems to send the rabid environmentalists heading for their fainting couches.
Pretty silly way to run a country...

Re: Secretary of State
Or we could put as much money into solar and wind power and eliminate the need for oil all together...
You'll have to show me the numbers on that.
