On a business trip to Germany, my German counterparts said to me that “You Americans are tricky on oil”, “What do you mean? we spend so much buying oil around the world, newspapers complaint about the oil import deficit all the times, the end If near!” They said what you Americans are doing is to use up the oil around the world first, while saving the native American oil, which is the biggest reserve in the world. They have a point, I never thought about it that way and it is pretty smart thing to do. Evidently that is a common view around the world when I mentioned it to other businesspeople around the world in my travel. Next time when you read about oil import deficit, think about this.
The added bonus for these worried zealots as reported in this article is that Hummers are working hard to convert these non-Christian oil from non-Christian countries into Christian oil. Everybody should be happy.
