You have to understand the world to answer that question. Energy is the food of nations and keeping them tied to oil gives you power over them. Why do you think we still use a 150 old technology of combustion engines whereas basically every other aspect of civilization has come so far? It's a choice, not a misfortune.
What's wrong with solar, wind and basically everything that would solve the problem? - Power. Humanity would cut the strings attached to it, nobody wants that.
Will the US allow something like that happen? The future is developing towards hardware backdoors in all processors and this would make it really hard to implement such system. There is no way this is going to happen.
