How long before we diversify our technology to not be ham strung by oil anymore? If it's a security risk to not have it then it's a security risk relying on it so heavily.
Petrochem is an economical hydra, with heads in just about every industry imaginable from agricultural to pharmaceutical to packaging. It will be one hell of an endeavor to wean ourselves off of oil, but it needs to be done.
I agree completely. But our infrastructure, particularly agricultural infrastructure in the US and around the world, depends on a lot of fossil fuels. We should reduce that risk as soon as possible. But electric cars and wind plants aren't enough to do it alone.
