Americas dependence on foreign oil

Quote from Congressman Jerry McNerney

"Tonight, President Bush began his State of the Union address by calling for a new era of cooperation in addressing issues of great importance to the American people. If the president is serious about matching his words with deeds, I am ready to work with him on so many critical issues.

"I am optimistic about the lofty cooperative goals the president laid out. Yet, at the same time, I know that the best predictor of the future is the past — and that gives me pause.

"In his last six State of the Union addresses, President Bush has addressed the need for a rational, comprehensive energy policy and the need to move toward greater energy independence. Yet America is now more dependent on foreign oil than when President Bush took office."
