The reason all those commodities were used less in the USA over the past 50+ years is that our industrial capacity was destroyed and moved to other countries. We're consuming, not creating. We're living off of our rapidly depleting capital, in both material wealth and experience/knowledge bases. That's left us a poorer and less independent nation and made us vulnerable to destruction. Of course, that was the purpose of it, but we can't say that now, can we?
