Well if all the Muslim countries with oil and gas were to stop suppyling oil to the west what would happen to the west it would this fall apart the economy would stop growing for western countries because of no oil. There would be no electricity meaning no light. No gas meaning no heat.

If the western governments had a brain they would stop getting oil from oil rich countries and would need to plant 500 miles of solar panels in the Sahara Desert where the sun is shining during the whole day to meet the energy need of the whole world. Global Warming won't be a big of a problem if the world does that. There be no more wars over oil or gas. We won't be damaging the environment then. The Sahara Desert would be good use to us. But this won't happen because the western world is this too busy killing terrorist and dealing with the Islamic world.
