I do agree. I’m sure we could all consume less. But I can not agree we cold cut so much as to have no need of foreign oil. Or even just buy oil from “nice guy” regimes.

Not overnight. Point is, we had a warning shot fired across our bows with the 1973 embargo and have only haltingly approached the challenge of securing our energy supplies.

We rail against “government intervention” when it comes to developing alternate energy programs, but we actively employ our military to secure our supplies of fossil fuels.
