Robert Zubrin’s oped in the Rocky Mountains news is an excellent explanation of how opening up the transportation fuel market to competition would result in a reallocation of resources on a global scale, from petrotyranies to third world farmers.

This would not only be of great benefit to farmers here, but an enormous boon to the Third World, which otherwise faces brutal looting through continued unconstrained OPEC price hikes.”
