The manufacturing to gas/diesel is taxed, manufacturing of byproducts are also taxed, as the retail sales of these products are then taxed. This is why the US or any other country wants to control the oil "flow" because it's not just a core energy source, but the core taxation and revenue source.
This is the only reason why green energy will never ever take root until oil is gone. There is simply not a way to tax green energy effectively as oil and why global governments who control limited amounts of oil are trying to start a worldwide carbon tax. Hell, I just moved from a State who sent a new law notice to electric car buyers. If you buy an electric car they will tax you by the mile.
Anyway, the many doubters in this thread have yet to address why there were ZERO plane wreckage parts recovered at the pentagon?

Good points there Jesus H Christ
One more point with regard to the Dollar being the world's reserve currency and the inflated spending power that gives the US, is to give an example of what happens to those who plan a new world reserve currency; Dominique Strauss-Kahn was about to collapse the US economy on a scale that's never been seen before.

Under Strauss-Kahn the IMF's pursuit of financial stability has included calls for a possible replacement of the dollar as the world's reserve currency. An IMF report from January 2011 called for a stronger role for Special Drawing Rights (SDR) in order to stabilize the global financial system. According to the report, an expanded role for SDRs could help to stabilize the international monetary system. Furthermore, for most countries (except for those using the US dollar as their currency) there would be several advantages in switching the pricing of certain assets, such as oil and gold, from dollars to SDRs. For some commentators that amounts to a call for a "new world currency that would challenge the dominance of the dollar"
