For Peace and Justice:
By reducing our dependence on oil, and specifically foreign oil, we reduce our need to go to war to defend oil supplies and oil allies. We reduce the need to funnel billions of dollars in foreign aid each year to support military forces, expand military buildup in oil-producing regions, and force countries to invest in their individual war machines, thereby diverting money from investments in people, infrastructure, environmental protection and education.

Reducing the need for oil reduces the need for oil wars reduces the need for military buildup reduces the need for military expenditures reduces the need for reciprocal military buildup by neighboring countries reduces the need to divert funds from investments in people reduces the
injustice and lack of peace.
