Our country blew it after the last oil crisis in the late 70's. We started down a road of energy independance and gave up on it. The blame falls on the envrio-whackos and the greedy who have forgotten we are all American patriots. Now the same mid-eastern countries starting the same problem all over again and we will all pay for not dealing with this when we should have.

Bingo! Most of us here lived through the Carter years, we became complacent and allowed the greenies to prevent us from drilling, building refinieries and the delivery infrastructure, and building nuke plants.

And, FWIW, that's the reason I'll never own a gas hog :)
