Why don't you use Tar Sands from Canada instead of Middle Eastern Oil?
Canadian tar sands are being used as an energy source, but it is a lot harder, and thus more expensive, to derive oil from the tar sands than to drill it direct from the ground. At the current price of oil, however, it make economic sense to do so.
The Canadian Oil Sands are the largest deposit of recoverable oil in the western hemisphere but oil needs to be above $60 a barrel for it to be economically feasible. With oil prices only being above the $60 a barrel for the last 2 years or so, companies are only now moving into develop the sands. Unfortunately, the oil discovery and extraction process for the sands is a slow capital intensive process that will require more time to be fully be online. For a look at who is developing the oil sands, you might look at http://www.canadianoilsand.org. They have a number of articles on the oil sands.

Can baking soda be used as a substitute for powdered alum in dyeing cheescloth with tea?
All you need to dye cheesecloth with tea is tea. The stronger the better. Make sure its really tea and not an herbal "tea" like mint or chamomile, which contain no tea.
Make the tea with boiling water and a bunch of tea bags (easy cleanup) or loose tea (messy). Put the cheesecloth in the tea until the color you're after is achieved. Then take it out, rinse in clean water and dry. If the color isn't dark enough when dry, just put the cheesecloth back in the tea, or make a new stronger batch and re-dye. The color will be "wash fast" once the cheesecloth has been dyed, rinsed and dried. That means it will fade only slightly or not at all when you wash the cheesecloth. The color might get on other things in that wash load though, so be sure to launder tea-dyed items with things that you don't mind being stained or that won't show a light stain (like jeans, for example).

Just remember you are going use a lot of potatoes and get LITTLE flour. Buy the biggest bag of potatoes you can because it's cheaper that way, and spend a a couple days making the flour. They need a long time to dehydrate.
