You should welcome the development of new technologies that will eliminate our dependency of foreign oil.

What have I said that would lead you to believe otherwise?

I'm perfectly fine with reducing our dependence upon foreign oil. I'm just intelligent enough to recognize that we cannot force a major change in transportation and electricity generation that is INDIFFERENT, or in direct CONFRONTATION with market forces. We must make a gradual transition, and if that requires more domestic exploration of fossil fuel sources, then it should not be opposed.

There are hundreds of technologies out there that would take us off of foreign oil forever, but the cost to implement such changes would be far in excess of any benefit, except possibly with the exception of environmental ones (and even that is in doubt if we have consequences from rare resource mining and disposal).
