There is this idea, 'As a nation, we are too dependent on foreign oil.'  I
heard that roughly 25% of our GDP is directly related to the Automobile. And
so, oil demand is incredibly high, not too mention other uses like home
heating oil. Economics provides 2 solutions: decrease demand or increase
domestic supply.  And what is this administration doing to help curtail our
craving for foreign oil: 1) increasing fuel efficiency standards for cars,
No 2) Buying more hybrid vehicles for fleet use at the federal level, No 3)
Creating tax rebates for incentives to homeowners to incorporate solar,
re-insulate, upgrade to efficient boilers and oil burners, No 4) Require
larger engines use displacement on demand technology, No again. Come to
think of it, is there anything this administration has done to help stop
billions of dollars flowing to huge wealthy oil regimes in other foreign
countries?
