There is no doubt about this -- we will be using petroleum from now on. However, it is well within reach to think that we will cut back on our demand in the next 10 years sufficiently to approach independence if we use what we have. A small (25%) decline in our usage is sufficient to moderate oil prices and to cause OPEC to recognize that their ability to control the world economy is coming to an end. This is readily achievable through alternative fuels, hyrbrid technologies, electric vehicles and other evolving changes in this area. It is true we cannot drill our way out of it, but at the same time, drilling is a part of the solution. Of the two, McCain to date is much stronger on energy policy. But the message is lost in a sea of other ideological differences. For example, JF on this thread has been most vocal about energy issues, yet he obviously misses McCain's much stronger energy stance. I have no doubt this is happening millions of times over as the Left is under the influence of Obama's cult.
