We're still the most powerful right now. China is gaining and may pass us soon.

Finding a replacement for oil would be such a huge game changer, though. Right now we are in a competition for resources, and if we had a renewable source of energy that let us maintain our lifestyle, then we become less dependent on other countries and our whole political landscape changes so much that I don't know what country would be number 1.
