I agree that it's silly to think we can end our dependence on foreign oil solely with more domestic production.

It is also silly to think we can do it without any additional domestic production at all.

Conservation, new transportation tech, cellulose biofuels, and other alternative energy sources are an essential part of the picture. So are new oil wells in this country and in friendly nations, since there's no damn way we're going to switch 30 percent of our needs over to alternatives any time soon.

As for nuclear, how about we start seeing liberals pushing this in public with their leadership?

Or telling the environmentalists--currently working on closing off even more coal and oil resources, trying to shut down hydroelectric facilities, and standing firmly in the way of nuclear power--to finally sit down and shut up?
