From all my lovers that loved us, thou, God, didst sunder us;
thou madest thick darkness above us, and thick darkness under us;
thou hast kindled thy wrath for a light, and made ready thy sword;
let a remnant find grace in Thy sight, I beseech thee, O Lord.

As unlikely as it may be, it is guaranteed if we just give up on the possibility.Originally posted by Darion
Considering that it is highly unlikely that we will be divested of our reliance on foreign oil in our lifetime
From a technological standpoint, it would be moderately easy to get rid of our reliance on foreign oil. It is simply a matter of political will.... a resource we lack in even greater quantities than oil.Capitalization is the difference between "I had to help my Uncle Jack off a horse." and "I had to help my uncle jack off a horse."

Our problem is largely the fact that so much has been built around the oil industry, so we lack the political ability to get around the legion of lobbyists that are staunchly opposed to the elimination of oil dependence. I don't particularly enjoy how the entire global importance of parts of the Middle East consists of "Yes, we stockpile a supervaluable resource. And we, uh... we have sand."
All shrank, like boys who unaware,
Ranging the woods to start a hare,
Come to the mouth of the dark lair
Where, growling low, a fierce old bear
Lies amidst bones and blood.
