Of course.
Not restricting fuel use gives some countries a short-term competitive edge.
But in the long run, they'll miss out on lean-energy production methods.
International cooperation on reducing oil use becomes useless when the US, China nor the developing countries wish to take part in it.
It certainly doesn't help that these measures were proposed for the wrong reason - climate change.
With many countries winding down nuclear installations, it's a big question where their power supply will come from in an oil-depleted near-future.
Higher oil prices won't be the real issue, but rather availability is going to be key.
That'll be the day we'll regret we've stupidly burned off so much of the stuff.
