As long as we're dependent on those fossil fuels, we're dependent on the Middle East. If we are not victims, we're certainly captives.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's as certain that as long as fossil fuels are the cheapest energy, we will just keep burning them.
Despite spending trillions of dollars and spilling the blood of thousands of Americans, we remain in servitude to Arab oil.
The more we focus on using renewable fuels, the less we are dependent upon foreign oil.
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.
As long as the United States - and the world - gets its oil from the Middle East, we will be drawn into the endless crises that seem endemic to the region. American energy independence would not only liberate us, it would also drive down the worldwide price of oil.
I believe America's chief strategic vulnerability is our dependence on imported petroleum.
If we don't continue to pursue alternative, emissions-free energy sources like nuclear fuel, we are at risk of increasing our dependence on costly natural gas.
No longer should we rely on oil from countries that are not necessarily friendly or democratic.
We shouldn't be so dependent on foreign oil.
Our Strategic Petroleum Reserve is there for a natural disaster or some other catastrophe.
