Hum... So that makes it's ok for one to just go there and take it?

Anyway, last I checked the US produced enough oil for their needs. Besides, ammonia and urea are made with natural gas, not oil. Plastic is also mostly made of natural gas, but it's a general name for lots and lots of different things, so it varies.

No, I suppose the agenda of my comment was unclear. I was implying that modern American "freedom" is inherently unsustainable and only possible due to oil, no alternatives suffice. The answer isn't more oil, it's changing how we live.

I sometimes use "oil" to refer to fossil resources in general.
