We are in no danger of such a thing, unless our own congress denies us the ability to go after our own reserves. Oil Shale in Canada and the US alone to keep us going for years. In addition, the reserves off of the Alaskan Coast, the Gulf and south of FL. We just need a congress that understands what must be done. Of course, at the same time, the search for clean, renewable alternatives should be a huge part of any drilling deal. I have stated before and don't know why it has never been tried, open up all the areas to drilling, placing strict fines for spills and also a small tax on all oil produced that would go directly to grants for research on new clean renewable alternatives. Best of all worlds there!
