Please coutinue to have an oil based economy.  In Europe, we will keep the lead for an energy independant economy. We will be very glad to sell you our know-how.

The USA will have the choice to pay the Saudis for oil (but it will be more expensive) or to buy European/Asian technology to obtain the energy they need. Plus, if you don't have sufficient incentives for a green economy (engineers, technicians, politicians) you might loose more of your workforce. As an example, It might be less productive to build Volkwagens and Toyotas in the US with a new, green technology, if Amercia has no interest it, no interest in education and financing for those technology. I'm not saying they will close foreign carmaker factories in the us, but this criteria will become crucial when answering the question "Where are we going to build our next car manufacture?"

You don't care about climate change ? You don't care about energy independane? (Yes those two are linked) Have at it !
