And back to moving the goal post. The discussion is about where the dollar's value primarily comes from, not about whether energy is more than just a commodity never mind that energy != oil as oil only makes up about ~4% of world energy production. The value of the dollar does not come from oil, it comes from tax payers, that's the truth; deal with it.
