US not interested in Middle Eastern peace plan, no Camp David. Syria and Egypt are preparing for another war, which happens either in late 70s-early 80s.

OPEC don't get so much petrodollars, less military extravaganza and less showing-off, not so much exposed social differences. Iranain revolution postponed and/or less violentlly islamic.

No oil alternatives, more polution. Less NPPs.
