In the Aftermath of the BP oil spill ...
The need to reduce our dependence on oil is more obvious than ever.
In his June 15th Oval Office speech, President Obama argued for the need to reduce America’s dependence on oil to limit the extent we drill in risky places, such as the deep waters off our coasts. But, the Outer Continental shelf is not the only place where drilling entails risk. Our continued dependence on oil produced in nations whose interests are inimical to those of the United States and our allies opens our nation to added political and international danger at a time of turmoil and uncertainty, with enormous negative consequences for our economy, foreign policy and national security. It’s time for a Revolutionary Change in U.S. Energy Policy to end our addiction to oil!
