And it is gradually beefing up its naval and maritime presence along the vital oil tanker routes that thread strategic Far East choke points.And while China is aggressively seeking to encourage greater use of renewable energy and conservation technologies, its booming economy continues to strain the world's ability to produce enough oil to meet global demand, driving up prices into the +$50 a barrel range; and potentially setting the stage for a future economic, diplomatic and/or possible military conflict.So, during the month of February 2005, EV World, the Internet's leading web portal for news and information about sustainable transportation

technologies, asked its readers, "Do you believe that China's growing appetite for oil will eventually bring it into with the United States?"A total of 670 readers took part in the poll. Of those 77 percent (517) responded "Yes"; 15 percent (100) responded "No"; and 8 percent (53) replied "Unsure". That's a five-to-one margin of those who see potential between two of the world's largest consuming nations."This is obviously a troubling finding," stated EV World publisher Bill Moore. "It clearly suggests a pervasive pessimism about how successful either nation will be in reducing its dependence on imported oil. These findings, while not scientific, should be a wake-up call to the leaders of both nations that we must find a way to work peacefully and constructively towards sustainable energy solutions that don't pit nation-against-nation in the competition for resources."About EV WorldPublished weekly on-line since 1998, EV World features original content on a wide range of topics related to advanced, alternative fuel technologies from the latest in battery, hybrid-electric and fuel cell vehicles to renewable energy progress and policy.

EV World conducts reader polls each month, with this month's question being, "Since hybrids use less gasoline, should states switch from taxing motor fuel sales to taxing vehicle owners on the miles they drive each year?"'.
