There are more reasons why it is important to get away from foriegn oil, and reasons why it won't happen.

1. The United States gets most of its oil from Saudi Arabia. The money for that oil goes into the pockets of the ruling Princes in SA. Those princes are Whabbaist Islamics. Those same Princes are funding Al Qaida, the Taliban, and other radical Islamic groups. Based on their beliefs, these groups are bound to destroy western culture. It is vital to stop supplying these organizations with the funds they need to destroy our way of life.

2. The economy has been discussed, but it is important to reiterate the fact that all manufactoring uses petroleum to some extent. Over 80% of the products made worldwide have some petroleum derivitive in it. 100% of all products (including food) uses petroleum in some stage of its production. Until there is another readily available source of energy that is easily used to replace oil, it will be nearly impossible to get rid of foreign oil.

Some of the reasons this will not happen.

1. People do not want to do the work themselves. They want what they want, when they want it. The age of people trying to improve their own lives through innovation is mostly over. The want to make things better for those around them is all but completely gone.

2. Large corporations that make money through the use of oil will not allow politicians to implement the laws necessary to make a conversion away from oil until they can figure a way to make money from it while squeezing every last dollar from the oil in the process.
for example, fuel cell vehicles: Where is the hydrogen for the fuel cells coming from? Oil. We are not getting away from oil, just seeing it in a different from. The oil companies will be supplying the hydrogen by cracking the oil molecules (which is a long Hydrocarbon chain) and extracting the hydrogen for sale to the public.
The politicians want their money too. Ultimately they don't care about passing laws that benefit the public (recent health care coverage, economic stimulus, and other legistlation are examples), they are more interested in providing for themselves both in office and afterwards.

Just some of my thoughts, but until the public, and our elected leaders are willing to do their jobs and put the welfare of the nation above their petty personal desires we are not going to gain any independence from oil.
