It's a slow day, so I'll bite. I like the Devil's Advocate role anyway.
It drives my hippie friends nuts.

I don't know that I'd >totally< blame the treehuggers. Certainly some.
They don't own congress. Conservatives have been at the wheel for some
time now and have not enacted legislation that would make exploitation
of these resources a profitable endeavor. If they really wanted it...

According to my fellow librul commie wonks in the DOE, if we were to
cease imports, we'd have about 3 years of our own oil at current usage.
In 2005, we used 20,656,000 barrels per day. Although estimates vary,
we have about 21,000,000,000 barrels in the ground in the U.S. Maybe a
little more.

I doubt that this amount of oil scares the pocketbook of any major
producer.

Just for grins, here's a list of our top importers. Interestingly, the
top 2 are Canada and Mexico. They are followed by Saudi Arabia,
Venezuela, and Nigeria. Iraq is 6th.

Coal and natural gas, on the other hand, are cats of a different color.
We've got plenty of that.

Personally, I'd like to explore nucular power as an alternative to coal.
As soon as I wedge that old sub reactor in the bed of my Dak, I'll post
pictures.
