its part of the whole picture that HW paints - i.e. that the US, in general, because of the drought and its effects will be reduced to basically manual labor and horsepower - that there wont be enough food to allow ethanol production and that even methanol production will be curtailed to the point that there wont be anything left for civilian use - i.e. agriculture
remember it also has MilGov's 90th Corps breaking up with the result that the Oklahoma refineries and oil wells are lost and the one big refinery they still have left at Robinson having an accident and going to only 1 percent of capacity - meaning no fuel left for MilGov
the picture it paints defintely doesnt lead to any kind of reunited US in any forseeable future
