Besides being pre-release, that sounds pretty unofficial.
Like others here, I wonder if at least some of the vagueness evident in official 4e was by design. By not making definitive statements in the published materials regarding the status of non-aligned/neutral nations' oil production facilities, nuclear strike targets, and the status of major combatants' naval forces (to name just the topics that have come up in this thread), FL is giving Refs a lot of freedom to shape their respective campaign worlds as they see fit. In other words...
Want a T2kU with more fossil fuel availability? Nothing in 4e canon says you can't. Want a T2kU with almost none? Nothing in 4e canon says you can't.
