8. Abjectly dependent on hydrocarbon / fossil fuel imports for transport & electricity WWII: oil major factor in loss – US cut oil  Pearl Harbor – US submarines  cut all south imports Japan navy and air force unable to maneuver against US Today: Depends on US protection of markets and seaways – Will NOT end nuclear program – Temporary petroleum imports: Saudis & Russia vie
