The energy crisis between Russian and Ukraine presents and excellent lesson for America to learn from. We must stop being so dependent on foreign oil or this situation could easy repeat itself in the USA. Chavez, or any Arab oil producing nation could make us hostage to their whims. We must see the need to explore for more domestic oil. It is urgent!! The Robert Redfords of the world must be ignored when they fail to see that the Russia-Ukraine situation could be one that American could experience at any moment.

American could be facing a situation like Ukraine and Eastern Europe is experiencing. We must stop our dependency on foreign oil.
