Venezuela would be in trouble. NOT just from lower sales, but from Excess of employees.
At this point a bunch of people will say that China will pick that up. NOT. The US consumes MASSIVE amounts of fuel, and if we cut it back that much its going to hurt the world.
And the snow ball effect of the Job cuts will be huge.

I myself do not understand why it is America's concern for the world. Honestly I think its time America's government works for the people of America. Not the world.
America already tried the whole Save the world approach. We fucked it up thanks to Bush we fucked it up so bad the world does not want our help and frankly again...
Since when should Americans strive or elect a government that works for the world when a government should focus on it's own people?
The Bush era really fucked up America in ways so profound I doubt us Americans have yet to truly grasp the damage that was caused inside our country and outside our country.
It's not America's job to "Save the world" It's America's job to provide it's people the freedoms and opportunity we got within our borders and harness it. America was not founded on exhistential colonialism, we know what that is all about already. It does not work, has not worked and will never work.
