@Zettour @Tadano @NitroDubs @dassauerkraut the reason people have hyperfocused on oil is that it is a stand-in for energy security which is the security of the state.

Now that electric cars have been brought to an acceptable level, it functions as a hedge against threatening people with oil; you're seeing renewed interest in nuclear, and if it gets unblocked ( which is fairly possibly at this point, probably 60% ) oil will disappear as a major concern.
