Our national security is at risk when we rely on foreign oil to keep our economy moving forward.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
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.
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.
I believe America's chief strategic vulnerability is our dependence on imported petroleum.
We shouldn't be so dependent on foreign oil.
It is clear our nation is reliant upon big foreign oil. More and more of our imports come from overseas.
One of our priorities should be to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
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.
Oil prices have certainly become a threat for the world economy.
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.
