It seems that HE would know...
It's something about the defeatist tone of this article that really bothers me. It seems that the CEO of ExxonMobil doesn't think America will ever kick it's addiction to foreign oil. I suppose that the fact that he is CEO of ExxonMobil means that he would know this better than anyone else. Doncha think?
Considering the source, I think that most people will take this with a grain of salt, as well they should. America's history is certainly one of innovation, spunk, and creativity that bodes well for meeting this challenge. Of course, it will be a monumental challenge, like none that America has faced in its recent history. Are we up to it? I think that as the world situation develops, both in terms of the amount of oil in the world, and where its coming from, we may not have a choice.
It will probably be painful, it will be probably be inconvenient, but at some point, we will have all have to say "Our name is America, and we are an oiloholic." At that point, the candle be lit, and we can stop cursing the darkness because our head is in the sand.
