Foreign Oil Dependence and National Security: What to Do? 5.5.05

April 18, 2005

A new left-right coalition of environmentalists, business interests, and former national security officials was launched recently to address America’s dependence on foreign oil.

C. Boyden Gray, a member of the Steering Committee for the Energy Future Coalition, argues that promoting alternative-fueled vehicles and energy conservation would make us less vulnerable to enemies in the Middle East. Jerry Taylor argues that foreign oil dependence has no impact on national security and that additional corporate subsidies and consumer regulation will prove counterproductive. Join us for a spirited debate concerning the future of energy policy during the war on terrorism.
