It's probably too little, too late, but the peak easy oil problem cound be reduced somewhat this way.
1 - profits for Americans
2 - the more nuke electrical plants in China the less oil they will use. This softend their booming economy from eating all the oil making it more expensive. Our economy is assisted greatly from cheaper oil.
So get as many nuke Elec plants in China as possible.

We can AFFORD to be addicted to OPEC Oil.

American lives are a small price to pay compared to the
enormous profits that can be made from transnational 'free' trade."
