The sooner we wean ourselves off the Middle Eastern tit the better. It's done nothing but cause political problems and pollute the environment. There are many other sources of natural energy available. We need more funding for research into natural energy. Sadly the oil companies are too greedy and corrupt to allow their cash cows to get away. As long as we have politicians whose pockets are lined by the oil companies we'll be forced to rely on foreign oil for energy.
