Americas Dependancy on foreign oil

America is very dependant on foriegn oil. We dont know how to run our vehicles with out oil. It is very important and America uses it in good and bad ways. America's dependence on oil is a threat to our national security and our economy. Growing demand and shrinking domestic production means America is importing more and more oil each year - much of it from the world's most unfriendly or unstable regions.
We spend more than $200,000 per minute -- $13 million per hour -- on foreign oil, and more than $25 billion a year on Persian Gulf imports alone. These are some of the studies that the NRDC have shown. That is alot but these farmers need the oil to keep America alive and our food sources replenished. But that doesnt mean some of these car sales men couldnt back off selling these high oil using cars, we know they wont but it might help.
Niageria gives Amercia 11% of its oil. Niageria produces 2.2 million barrels of oil per day. They still only give us 11%.
America is very dependant, but we do need the oil for our facotories and farmers. We cant just cut the entires oil consupmtion in half ,its not that easy. America has to step up and take charge of themselves. If every person in the entire U.S. would cut back on there own oil consumption then we might make a differnce.
The war also needs oil to run the trucks tanks and planes. We are in a war so therefor we are bound to be short on funds and runing in debt. We need the oil in the middle east which is where the war is occuring. Oil prices in America is Americas Achilles' heel. Other countries are watching the U.S. use this oil and they are learning from our mistakes. We need to take a stand for our own oil usings and control it better.
