How to kick oil dependency - Shawn McCarthy
Mr. Zubrin offers up a simple answer that he says would dramatically reduce the U.S. dependence on imported oil: The U.S. Congress should mandate that all new cars sold be “flex-fuel vehicles,” or capable of running on either gasoline or biofuels.
The slight, intense aerospace engineer spoke in Ottawa and Toronto at the invitation of the Canadian Renewable Fuels Association to promote his book, Energy Victory: Winning the War on Terror by Breaking Free of Oil. He says ”OPEC is led by Saudi Arabia, which is becoming ever more obscenely wealthy by controlling energy prices, and which uses its petro-wealth to finance the spread of the extreme branch of Islam that is responsible for much terrorism. The United States is jeopardizing its national security, its economy and the global environment by remaining addicted to high-priced OPEC oil. Even harder hit by the run-up in prices are poor Third World countries."
