Down With Oil!?!??

In the game I chose the dependence on foreign oil question. Should we end it? Originally I said yes, because I know that it leaves us at the beck and call of oragnizations like OPEC and overall it isn't healthy for the enviroment and that the reserves are going to dry up someday! BUT I ended up saying no. My solution would be to wean us off of our dependance slowly instead of suddenly severing ties. First, we are not ready to handle the demand for energy with the resources we have now. Again they are going to run out at some point. Second, our alternative fuels and energy options are still young and have bugs in them that need to be worked out. Then third, this I found the most enlightening, our oil trades have established relationships with other countries that can be beneficial in either wartime, or peace, and overall to our economy. That's why I think we should NOT cease our dependance on foriegn oil completely but somehow find a way to decrease it. But this option does not help us in the short picture because the technology needed to supply the energy that would be needed is still a while a way.
My answer was in the 20%.
