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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is clear our nation is reliant upon big foreign oil. More and more of our imports come from overseas.
Our national security is at risk when we rely on foreign oil to keep our economy moving forward.
Right now too much American time and resources are spent dealing with situations caused by our dependence on oil that we import from unstable countries.
I believe America's chief strategic vulnerability is our dependence on imported petroleum.
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.
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.
It is important that the United States move with all deliberate speed to develop and get into usage alternative fuels that will allow us to end our dependence on foreign oil.
The problem is not the oil, but what they do with the oil. The United States is the biggest spender of oil and of all the planet resources.
We shouldn't be so dependent on foreign oil.
