The dependency on oil, especially foreign oil, is a big problem. The US should never have been so dependent on foreign oil. That's just one more reason why we should shift away from it.
The globe and it's resource belong to whoever is in a position to lay claim to it. And always has done. The notion that the U.S. is reliant "foreign" oil is illusionary. Foreign oil is as much the U.S.'s as is the oil under Texas. The manner in which ownership is exercised might vary: invasion, puppet governments, exploitation rights granted etc. but that is just detail.

I guess the point I am trying to make in general is that special interests groups exist to subvert and to dominate. But it seems especially sinister and disgusting when it is done under the pretext of "saving the planet."
There's nothing new under the sun.
