Can we get along without so much as a drop of Saudi oil if access to the giant Caspian Sea area oil resources become available?

Ahhhh, The "Giant Caspian Sea Reserves".
As soon as they decide which Pipeline to build,this may be the beginning of the U.S. being able to say "No thanks Saudi Arabia".-As long as Putin and President Bush keep it all together.I think there are four separate Lines proposed,ALL well w/in the reach of Anti-Israeli,and Anti-USA Terrorists.I'll say it again,Some Car manufacturer should come up / a car that runs on "Something" as good as Oil and still "allow the car to accelerate at a fairly good pace".I'd buy one just to "NOT" give the 'Saudi's' or other oil producing country,(except say Venezuela) any more money.
