"Turning Oil into Salt: How to reduce the strategic importance of oil and why it must be done."
As The Middle East rumbles, Iran continues its march toward nuclearization, and billions rise out of poverty in China and India, what are the implications of oil's status as a strategic commodity to geopolitics and the prospects for economic recovery? What can we do to reduce the strategic importance of oil and how will action or inaction affect the U.S. and foreign economies?
