From the New York Times:
To the Editor:
Thomas L. Friedman wants us to “radically reduce our dependence on oil.”
The reality is that we need to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
The “radical” remedy is that we need to drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and along the outer continental shelf. The fact that we do not use our own natural resources, which would benefit us economically and strategically, is utterly perverse, and a testament to how we are held hostage by the environmental movement.
Efficient and economical alternative sources of energy will take time to develop. In the meantime, let’s not foolishly ignore the oil under our feet.

No. Thomas Friedman is correct in saying we need to cure our dependence on oil. Any 5th grade science class can tell you oil is limited and non-renewable. It’s dead dinos, Thomas Cramer and all of his ilk. No. We need to get off oil.
