For years since the gas crisis of the 70's there has been a general cry to get off our reliance of middle east oil. This is clearly  a broad problem with many past congress leaders and presidents to blame,besides the ecology fanatics who are more concerned about the carabou  and the polar bear than if  joe q public  can afford to feed his family or pay the mortgage with sky high fuel prices and inflation.
 We now need the kind of leadership and goals that a great president brought forth in 1960 when he said within 10 years we will have a man on the moon.  We have the technology  and resources to be totally self reliant   in the field of energy resources within 10 years or less.  We no longer will need to bow to oil barrens in the middle east or nuts any where else in the world for energy.

Here are some of the solutions

1 more nuclear power plants

2 more wind power

3 shag oil development in western states--we have reserves that rival whats under Saudi Arabia

4 further development of bio fuels

5 huge natural gas reserves in  Gulf of  Mexico

6 allow domestic oil development  on continental shelf  and Alaska
