USA, because of oil in alaska and warfare.\nCanada, low population and high level of education.\nDenmark, (territorically) because it has the jurisdiction over the world's largest natural park - which is Greenland!

Europe gets 80% of its oil from the persian gulf countries(arab countries on that gulf +Iran)\n                         +\nUSA is an economic strategic partner of Europe\n                         =\nEurope would never want the USA to fall, but it never wants the USA to control the oil\n                       Therefore\nEurope will do its best to postpone and delay and real solution that allows the USA to control the oil rich nations.Europe want a strong United STates that -in a illitary sense-lives within her borders, never outside.\n\nThe biggest mistake the USA madew was announcinf that it can handle Iraq alone without Europe, the biggest surprise for the USA is that the Iraq copaign got stuck for three years and did cost 2 trillion dollars. The worst turn over was that USA is now accepting Europe as a strategic partner in handling the Iran crisis. The next step would propably be very much in favor of europe, and quite ugly for the USA.\nAny way, its just my humble opinion.\n\nP.S.-"Empires don`t have friends, they have interests" -Sir Winston Churchil

we only produce 25 percent of what we use they claim so we get it from other allied countries. its bought alot cheaper than you think. the government pays less than half you see at the pumps for regular. there is enough oil and natural gas in the appalation mountains to last 2,000 years. there are other secret sites but they won't touch it as we would be paying 10 cents a gallon. the more they claim we don't have, the more profit they make. they don't want the easy route. it was discovered that we had so much excess oil athat many empty wells were being used to store it secretly, but they got caught to some point. the oil giants control the government.

According to the CIA factbook, the United States produces 7.61      million barrels per day of oil, while it consumes 20.03 million barrels per day.  According to the USGS and Department of Energy, the United States accounts for 40% of the world's oil consumption, while producing only about 10% of the world's oil.

According to my research California is surprisingly the fourth largest oil producing state in the US. Seeps, naturally occuring tar pits, trapped animals and their predators looking for an easy meal, over thousands of years. The decomposing bodies of these animals creates oil.

Don't know much about Canadian politics, but to all of you who think Canada unimportant - remember that the vast majority of Oil that the US uses comes from there. Be more respectful to your neighbours.

We wouldn't get very far, we rely too heavily on imported oil.

GOOD QUESTION! Many are over-rating the importance of oil in this region when there is enough oil in our emergency reserves and under the Alaskan Wildlife Preserve to make America self-sufficient beyond the expected need for petroleum based energy. The oil is, however, an important natural resource for those in the middle east and with several of those nations supporting terrorism and nuclear power, that makes for a nasty combination that needs to be carefully monitored!

Who needs oil when you've GOT America
