Even so, all that would happen was that they would be very limited in further expansion. Where's the problem exactly?
Unobtainium is not fuel. Earth has HUGE amounts of electrical energy available, which is used as the actual energy source.
Again, I would point you to StarDestroyer.Net BBS • View topic - Avatar Military ****ers Read This First .
Again. EVEN IF there were other extrasolar presences, no unobtainium means you can not build more ISVs at the same efficiency of use (not not not at all, either). Unobtainium is not fuel. Is is not the structural material that makes ISV construction possible. It is not oxygen, or water either.

Never said it was a fuel. Said it was used in the maglev trains. Which is stated in the ASG. You need superconductors for the maglev trains to work. Not only transporting people, but also goods, and supplies.
I tend to think that those things are important. Bad things happen when the transport of food is disrupted.
