This is something that does need to be addressed. One can only hope that the Pentagon makes it a priority.

We need to drill in ANWR and drill off the coasts, East, West and Gulf. We need to become a net exporter of oil and tell the muslims and OPEC to pound sand.

There is no problem.
Should something arise to threaten national security, rationing would drop automobile fuel consumption 90% overnight. Production within the USA could easily keep up with military demand and necessary civilian travel.

Peak oil is nonsensical on it’s face. But if you want alternative fuels, there is always coal and nuclear. We have a lot of both.

I have a great idea - lets build breeder reactors in the deserts to make fuel and lots of regular nukes to supply our cities!

Ah, my inventive mind takes the challenge! Massive hovercraft, powered by nuclear generators (the type used in subs - hmmm how to cool them - skip that) some like battleships, loaded with charged particle weapons, updates of some of the lasers constructed for Reagans “Star Wars” programs. Others built to be an airborne aircraft carrier for a swarm of unmanned aircraft to be used as scouts and escorts and targeting devices. Maybe some as massive troop carriers, or capable of off-loading large equipment.
Reminds me of an article one might have read in an issue of Popular Science circa 1965.
