Just want to point this out. While not buying foreign oil might decrease the damage they can do, it won't decrease their desparation. The people that hate us over there--most hate us because we do business with the regimes that control them. The people that hate us most never see that money. The ones that have the money that hate us...well they allready have enough that the damage is done.
Don't get me wrong though, I'm all for drilling here. The ideal thing for me would be to limit our use of these resources through things like the Volt to the point that our domestic oil would be enough for self sufficiency.
That would be such a boost to our economy...being able to sustain two very different kinds of businesses: oil and I guess you would call it the "green industry."
Then we wouldn't need CAFE. We could have our cake and eat it too. Drive the Energizer Bunny to work, and bring out the monster on the weekend.
