The world is made more vulnerable to oil shocks
The war made Russian popular in providing stocks
Of oil for India and the US caved on a Russian block
For at least one month as India grabs and Russia mocks
The blocks that have been removed as our block
Head president cozies up to his favorite lock
Up king and fellow dictator who tosses his locks
Imaginary and looks hungrily for more war shocks
That will feed Russian coffers and breakdown
Of civilization that makes a Ukraine takedown
More possible with more commerce of Russia’s
In the midst of this havoc and Iran based chaos
The American-Israeli war on Iran spiked oil prices
Tankers hesitate to transit the Strait of Hormuz
Where twenty percent of global oil passes
The United States is more exposed to oil price shocks
than any other major power, including China. Run amok!
But China recognized its strategic vulnerability
to oil shocks years ago and has been methodically
decreasing it, not with warships, but with electric vehicles too
and high-speed electric rail. The United States needs to do
what China is already doing: invest in E.V.s. U.S. electricity
production is already more than 99 percent independency
from oil, running instead on coal, natural gas, nuclear power
and green energy. Electrifying America’s vehicle fleet would overpower
U.S. oil intensity and reduce exposure to price shocks from all,
Persian Gulf, Russia and beyond. Transitioning away from internal
combustion engines should not be tangled in the toxic partisan politics
of climate change. Electrification is crucial for the United States to mitigate
a strategic vulnerability that its rivals are already solving. If the United States
relies less on oil, it can care less about the Persian Gulf. This is a reason
to bring back thousands of United States troops already there stationed.
