recommendation that oil should be taxed if it drops below $40.00/barrel in order to counter price manipulation. Ex-CIA director James Woolsey and U.S. Senator Richard Lugar are also vocal proponents of ethanol. In 2005, Sweden announced plans to end its dependence on fossil fuels by the year 2020. It is argued that international climate policy and unconventional oil and gas developments may change the balance of power between petroleum exporting and importing countries with major negative implications expected for the exporting states. From around 2015 onwards, there was increasing discussion about whether the geopolitics of oil and gas would be replaced by the geopolitics of renewable energy resources and critical materials for renewable energy technologies. Some authors argue that compared to the geopolitics of fossil fuels, renewable energy may cause more small-scale conflicts but reduce the risk of large inter-state conflicts. The anti-nuclear movement received some funding early on from fossil fuel companies, including petroleum interests. Even in the 21st century there are continuing efforts by fossil fuel companies to paint nuclear energy in a negative light and to position fossil gas and oil as a "perfect partner for renewables". While there is the potential for geopolitical conflict over uranium deposits, the possibility of extracting uranium from seawater and the ability to store huge amounts of energy in small amounts of fuel due to the high energy density of uranium make such conflicts less likely. Geopolitics of oil money Multibillion-dollar inflows and outflows of petroleum money have worldwide macroeconomic consequences, and major oil exporters can gain substantial influence from their petrodollar recycling activities. Key oil producing countries Canada As development in the Alberta oil sands, deep sea drilling in the North Atlantic and the prospects of arctic oil continue to grow Canada increasingly grows as a global oil exporter. There are currently three major pipelines under proposal that would ship oil to the pacific, atlantic and gulf ports. These projects have stirred internal controversy, receiving fierce opposition from First Nations groups and environmentalists. Iran Discovery of oil in 1908 at Masjed Soleiman in Iran initiated the quest for oil in the Middle East. The Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC) was founded in 1909. In 1951, Iran nationalized its oil fields initiating the Abadan Crisis. The United States of America and Great Britain thus punished Iran by arranging coup against its democratically elected prime minister, Mosaddeq, and brought the former Shah's son,
