They don't have the oil, gas, farmland for biofuels (they might, but then need to import all their food, which is much worse than importing all your gasoline/oil), anything. They have a simple choice to reduce foreign disruptions: cut consumption. Do so in a huge and quick way (massive electrified railway building project, anyone?). Now, I don't think that'll happen voluntarily, but it will happen in the next decade. What the US does have is a desert (solar power), coast lines (tidal and wind), and excellent scientific resources (innovations). Electricity is easier to make than fuels for cars...focus on that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
