Who is trying to kill you (I presume the US, you mean) > this time? What do you mean? Well, I don't think it's any secret that much (most?) of the oil the US imports, is from arabic countries. And while we're neutral trade-partners with some of them, I'd hardly call them friendly to us (nor us friendly towards them). I'd prefer to have the US work on building up the biofuels industry and infrastructure, which will allow us to support our own farmers rather than supporting people in countries who are uneasy allies at best. The sooner the US starts using it's energy resources that it has, the sooner it can stop having to juggle unstable situations in order to attempt to secure them from elsewhere.
