1.To do that you need to have a strong hold ( not just treaties) on geographical areas whrere hydrocarbons are deposited. That also meanst having the military muzzle to protect your intersets in these reqions - Highly improbable considering our policies and leadership 2.These is an aga old saying..Hardly a solution just a lip service. However much you save , your needs are growing 1000 times more 3.Yet again..It takes a hello lot of time to develop un conventional energy sources effectively. Already research is ongoing across the world for years..No major breakthroughs that can substitute the oil 4. SLowing Growth - Unacceptable. Do you slow your trim your growth down just becusae his needs are growing..-Absurd.
