The big war should be a internal one. We must champion energy independance. Freedom from Middle Eastern dependancy will go far in solving our problems. As well as threats/actions of destruction, cutting off the oil tap could grind our ecomony and way of life to a halt. The Arabs have little revenue sources other than oil. Cut off the money and cut off the threats. Much better and cheaper than troops and bombs.

It would take decades to significantly change our oil usage, even if we wanted to. I say, don't fret about oil. One of the side benefits of this War on Terrorism thing is that we'll have cheap Middle East oil ad infinitum, not to mention Russian oil coming in over Afghanistan. I really think it's a non-issue.
