We absolutely need to end our dependence on oil. Since the price of gasoline has gone back down, the importance has seemed to drop quite a bit. Everyone is living in the right now, instead of thinking of the future. It's not going to hurt them, why worry about it. Gas prices are lower, why worry about it now. In the meantime, I think we need to continue exploring, and drilling for more DOMESTIC oil, instead of relying on the huge amounts of foreign oil that we BUY. In the meantime, it is extremely important that we as a country keep pushing to reduce oil usage.
