What many people don't realize is that any North American Union would be controlled and dominated by the US and Washington, just as Russia and Moscow
dominated the Soviet Union.
Saying NAU is nothing more than a politically correct newspeak for the United States of (North) America.
With Mexico and Canada firmly under Washington's control, the US would be energy independent. Right now most of the US' oil imports come from Canada
and Mexico.
With the move to Oil Shale and Oil Sands for energy, North America stands to become by far the most important and powerful force on the face of the
earth in the 21st century.
Canada alone has more Oil Sand reserves than the Entire remaining global oil reserves, over 1.7 trillion barrels of oil. In the US, oil shale reserves
equal over 2 trillion barrels of oil.
When the rest of the planet is fighting over the last conventional reserves, North America will be the new OPEC to the world. The world will come to
depend on America for its energy needs.
