The US consumes more than twice as much oil per day as China, the second largest oil consumer. 40% of US oil consumption is to fuel automobiles, 70% if you factor in trucks. Do you even consider the toxic emissions the US produce? And US companies manufacture products in China, because the American consumer looks for the cheapest goods. We all decry the outsourcing of jobs to foreign countries with cheaper labor, and yet we spend tens of billions of dollars a year at Wal-Mart and other discount chains. We are our own worst enemies.
