We can -- but Obama said this week he was going to get us foreign oil in 10 years, and the sum total of his game plan for doing this was putting 1,000,000 electric vehicles on the streets. Obviously, it will take far more aggressive action than this to do it.

He said ME oil. Given that ME oil is only 20% of our total imported oil, that's very doable.
