re: Invent a viable alternative to oil and we'll get off of it.

Electricity?

There is nothing inherently "evil" about oil. In fact gasoline is a pretty wondrous thing. A single gallon of the stuff can propel a multi-thousand pound vehicle 40 miles... amazing concentration of energy.

The problem is that this wondrous stuff is becoming increasingly scarce and expensive, and we use over twice as much as we produce. And the bad guys produce most of it, so we are enriching our enemies. And as it gets more expensive, it saps more and more money from our economy and increased our huge trade imbalance.

Having 4.5% of the world population and using 25% of the worlds oil is a huge opportunity for us.
