We are so much dependent on oil that we are at the mercy of oil producing nations. Every one are talking and doing something about a "clean" alternative source of energy, like wind, solar, geo-thermal, bio-fuels, ad infinitum.
The real solution NOW is going nuclear! Nuclear energy is a very cost effective source of energy. The leaders of these oil producing nations will sweat and shrink their balls.
What about nuclear waste? No problem. We have the technology. Build a rocket, pack the nuclear waste in it and aim toward the sun. It will turn to vapors even before reaching the sun.
