Turning Oil into Salt

How to reduce the strategic importance of oil and why it must be done
Book • 2009
This book draws parallels between the historical strategic importance of salt and the current strategic importance of oil.

It argues that oil's dominance in transportation fuels is the root of its strategic significance and that reducing this dependence is crucial for national security and economic stability.

The author advocates for the development of a competitive market in transportation fuels to diminish the influence of oil-producing cartels like OPEC.
