I believe we can be energy independent. But whoever leads the way will be called an evil prick by many.
For instance, if police set random road blocks and pulled all illegal vehicles off the road, at least 5 percents would disappear. At the same time deport all illegal aliens. Then lock up all found criminals. With 5 percent less cars on the road fuel consumption drops by 5 percent. In some urban areas, like Chicago and Houston, the illegal rate, at some times in the week, is 50 percent or more.
But, if a governor or President ordered this to happen? They would be demonized in the press.
Next, let's talk about speeding motorist who waste fuel...
You get the idea. America is NOT serious about fuel savings yet.
