The USA became a net oil importer about 1970. The party was over then but we can still pretend.
Government Mandates...
Let us thank the rinos and the democommunist.
The Saudis (and OPEC) keep the right folks' pockets stuffed.
OPEC is quickening its own demise. By choking production and increasing prices, it will increasingly drive innovation and research into alternative energy sources. It won't happen overnight (nor should it) but it will happen. In the long run, these oil-related growing pains are a good thing.
All we need is already here in capped oil wells. Uncap the wells, free the oil!
Moreover, President Bush should issue a proclamation proscribing any legal challenge to same as a directive based on a National Emergency.
If we stopped burning oil for heating and power generation, that would leave plenty for our automobiles and reduce emissions if we use our own oil resources in ANWR, the Gulf, of the Continental Shelf, etc. Nuclear plants, cleaner coal, wind power where it is feasible.
Of course, man-made climate change is a sham and a scam. But, common sense conservation can solve most of our problems.
Some good points there

Anything that grows ‘can convert into oil’
Company finds natural solution that turns plants into gasoline

After three years of clandestine development, a Georgia company is now going public with a simple, natural way to convert anything that grows out of the Earth into oil.
J.C. Bell, an agricultural researcher and CEO of Bell Bio-Energy, Inc., says he’s isolated and modified specific bacteria that will, on a very large scale, naturally change plant material – including the leftovers from food – into hydrocarbons to fuel cars and trucks.
“What we’re doing is taking the trash like corn stalks, corn husks, corn cobs – even grass from the yard that goes to the dump – that’s what we can turn into oil,” Bell told WND. “I’m not going to make asphalt, we’re only going to make the things we need. We’re going to make gasoline for driving, diesel for our big trucks.”
How does the Miami Herald feel about drilling for oil in the Gulf off Florida’s coast? Gov. Jeb Bush and Florida Republicans and Democrats opposed it: NIMBY.
America is dependent on imported oil by choice.
Dead on !
That is the only cure for 99% of Americas woes IMO.
Create cheap energy by drilling in the CONUS and it’s territorial waters NOW ! There is 200 years of oil reserves within those limits that will feed even the most thirsty of systems in the US.
The restricting paper dam created by the EPA is that limiting factor IMO. That is the singular political cure vs this BS ethanol or hybrid crap.
Yes, we as a nation need to work on better mileage per gallon vehicles. But no so much for conservation of resources as much as for the economy ! Cheap energy means people go places, have money to spend , save and invest. The manufacturing base, small and large business thrives when energy and fuel is cheap. Not what “”uses”” that resource is cheap.
This nation has 9 regions to the best of my knowledge that Nixon created. Each of those 9 regions should have at a minimum a dozen new nuclear power plants and refineries built within 5 calender years or we perish as a nation. We fall to a position well behind even the worst of third world countries due a incremental balkinization effort underway through such political decisions.
Reinvest foreign aid, that is given to nations seeking to destroy us . Use that foreign aid to build these projects.
Just my opinion of course.......
Never re-elect anyone ! Time to put the professional polidiots out of business !
That's my starting list..
You want to stop the money going to Arabia simple. Drill in the straits of Cuba and Florida before the Chinese due it for Castro. Drill in Anwar The Alaskans need the tax money big time. Are you tree huggers so stupid that you cut off your hands to spite your face. We need US oil wells and US Refineries. With our knowledge we could build them safe and sound. All this renewable energy is clap trap pure and simple. If its so great than great take the govt subsidies away from it and it implodes as to what it really is CLAPTRAP from the Tree Huggers who lie worse than Washington does.......While your at it take our Governor Sunshine sam and make him Secretary of The Dept of Stupidity!. Thats where him and Nancy Perlosi and HildaBeast belong! You want a comparison of parties watch carefully Louisiana Democratic State Wilma left 7 years ago. Rebuilding when? Florida Same Hurricane same problems except no levees. Back up and running 72 hours after the Cane. Louisiana let people die in Nursing Homes Florida Called The WVa ANG and flew out the Nursing Home Pt's . Lets see any more questions?
We could deport all of the Democrats, and then our problem would be solved.
Gal Luft is an idiot. Ethanol is part of the problem, not the solution. The only practical solution at this time that is more than marginal is nuclear power, although certainly we should work toward greater fuel efficiency as well.
The problem, of course, is that the Saudis now seem to own all of our politicians, ambassadors, and the whole State Department. Plus the middle eastern departments in our top universities. All bought and paid for with our gas money. Our political leaders are only too happy to work with misguided idiot greenies to keep us dependent on Arab oil.
We just gave the Palestinians a big infusion of cash to subidize their terrorism. Now, why did we do that? Could it be because those responsible have been bought and paid for by the Saudis? Maybe some sheikh told Bush or Cheney, “Give our Palestinian friends some money, and we’ll return the favor by lowering the price of gas by half a cent at your pumps.”
