I'm afraid so. While making our cars more fuel efficient is laudable, and
it's better to drive a car that gets 35 miles to the gallon rather than
15, we would still be completely dependent on foreign oil to keep gas
prices as cheap as Americans insist that they must be. This is also true
regardless of whether we drill in Alaska. We need a complete paradigm
shift in thinking about energy if we are to become independent from
foreign oil, and that's where something like SPS fits in.
