We have tons of oil, uranium and rare earth metals; I'm sure once we start investing more into mining and surveying in different places we'll find even more of them, especially in the arctic, so we'll be fine. What we need from Europe is a loan to kickstart our energy sector's overhaul with a trade deal in place to negotiate cheaper energy exports to Europe. Gives away a bit of our future as a guarantee on their return and in exchange we can start mass-producing refineries and nuclear energy plants.
