By this I mean we need to make the distinction between two qoals: 1) Eliminating our dependence on <I>foreign</I> oil, or 2) Eliminating our dependence on oil, period. To me, only the latter evokes a sounds long-term policy; both for the environment and for all of the things financed by oil that remain anathema to America's national security. <BR/><BR/>Unless we make this distinction, we will continue to waffle in the energy purgatory we have been in for far too long now.John Losingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03241759761840074461noreply@blogger.com
