I think we have to realize our own domestic failures in not implementing more policies to reduce our dependence on foreign petroleum.
IMO, Congress and the President could have and should have shown more leadership in this matter.
Actually it seems that conservatives and radical environmentalists might be able to make common cause on this matter, albeit for different reasons.
Regardless, the country ought to be able to come together and find ways of significantly reducing our dependence on foreign oil, quickly and radically. If we have the will, we can find a way.
It's truly amazing to me that increasing domestic production hasn't been on the front burner since September 12, 2001.
I'm not so sure that making common cause with radical environmentalists would be possible, given their rice bowls and irrationality.
The time is long overdue to go on the offensive against them.
