China is now the world's second largest energy consumer,
trailing only behind America. And India has moved up into
the fourth place behind Russia, after overtaking Japan in
2001. Dramatically changing the geopolitics of oil in the
new century, China and India are rapidly expanding their
navies as they become increasingly dependent on lines of oil
tankers from the Middle East, posing the beginning of an
eventual challenge to American hegemony in the Indian Ocean
and the South China Sea. But while competition for oil sharpens — the world is
approaching the projected peak oil output in 2012 — the
number of countries able to export the commodity is
shrinking. Those countries will be largely Muslim, or like
Hugo Chavez's Venezuela, hostile to Western interests. No
Oil sets the stage for the coming oil wars of the 21st century.
