Think where we'd be if in the late '70s during the last oil crisis we got serious about ending our dependence on oil?

It's just like every time I look in the mirror and wonder what I'd look like if I'd stuck with my New Years' resolutions.
Fair point.

The first step to begin ending our dependence on oil is get rid of our dependence on foreign oil. There really is no alternative to oil/coal until we find cleaner fuel. We could have been well on our way had Clinton given the okey dokey when he was in office - was it '96?

I'd rather drill and use our oil while figuring out better energy.
