Out of all the presidents in my memory, Carter, arguably one of the worst, tried the hardest and really believed he could make a difference. He failed, despite that Nobel Peace Prize thingie. Funny, now that Obama has one, too, it seems like they now hand them out for failure, rather than success.
If things keep looking up in the oil department in North America, hopefully one day soon we can just abandon the area and let China and India worry about keeping the oil flowing, as we won't need it anymore.

The Saudi's will not let that happen. They are paying most of the intrest (to China) on the nations debt.
If the US wanted ot be energy independent, then they would start using the natural gas. e have more than enough to fuel the vehicles, and leave the oil to the other products that it is used to create.
The US will NEVER be energy independent. The hole is too deep and there are too many people we owe to ever pay it all off. The US GOV and the American people will not do what it takes to fix the problem. There are too many "takers" and not enough "payers".
