We are supposed to be the country of great innovators, technology development, entrepreneurship.....

If, as a nation, we made a serious coordinated national commitment to alternative energy, we could probably have affordable solutions in place and on a wide scale before (within 15-20 years) we would ever see a drop of oil from the areas of the OCS currently under a drilling moratorium.

Start with T Boone Pickens' plan that could reduce our dependency on foreign oil by 20-30%
