Or, they could be concerned that such a move might make us wash our hands of them and start producing our own alternative fuels along with drilling our own oil. I'm also pretty sure, we send them a lot of food supplies, etc. Wonder how they would like it if our food couldn't get to them because we had no oil or were unwilling to ship it because of the strain on our own reserves.
