Re suppressed energy technology and the Middle East:
Maybe this question falls somewhere on a spectrum between “duhhhh….stating the obvious” and “rather off the mark” but a question (or a flipped around view of things for me maybe) entered my mind this morning about how much the suppression of energy related technological advancements has been/might still be in part about having a plausible/viable logistical reason (“petroleum dependence,” the petro-dollar supremacy maybe) for maintaining military footholds in the Middle East that does not give away suppressed reasons for wanting access to/control of that region? I guess I’m asking if the Middle East didn’t have oil, would we greatly “depend” upon something else (the ability to grow poppies maybe???…ok, now I’m feeling really out there) from that region?

There is speculation that there may be some special property in the oil deposits themselves going beyond merely burning it in our crude combustion engines (the ancient “gods” apparently rubbed it on themselves…).
Anyway you might be interested in the work of Heather Lynn.
