Except for immigration, you offer nothing but "failed in the past" dim solutions! More DOMESTIC energy, and alternative fuel research is our only true hope! The rest of your diatribe belongs on the DU!

The thing is, these solutions, which are as much government policy as is a strategic oil reserve, haven't been followed through. No attempt has been made to make commuter rail as convenient (it would be more so) than is air travel. There hasn't been any follow-through on MPG standards. Gas prices have been too low, actually, to encourage alternative resources.
ANWAR doesn't solve the problem, it just puts it off for a few years. Last time oil drilling went through in Alaska, it was supposed to (1) be sold domestically and (2) give some more time for real solutions.
Besides that, send home the 12+ million invaders, and revoke lots of green cards, send home more workers, and that'll increase available fuel resources. It makes no sense to encourage more population in the most wasteful country on earth.
