One of our priorities should be to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.

No longer should we rely on oil from countries that are not necessarily friendly or democratic.

The more we focus on using renewable fuels, the less we are dependent upon foreign oil.

It is clear our nation is reliant upon big foreign oil. More and more of our imports come from overseas.

We need to break our dependency on foreign sources of oil, which leaves us at the mercy of foreign powers. To do that, we should increase domestic energy production.

We need to move away from oil, period.

Our national security is at risk when we rely on foreign oil to keep our economy moving forward.

If the United States is to protect itself from the economic and the political threats created by this excessive dependence, we must reduce our reliance on foreign energy sources and on foreign oil as quickly and as efficiently as possible.

Despite the previous efforts of Congresses, our addiction to foreign oil, as the President stated, is greater today than ever before. That dependency is a threat to our national security, and we must address that threat.

The U.S. now imports over half of its oil supply from the Middle East. This dangerous dependence on foreign energy sources is an issue of national security.
