If people are really concerned with getting off foreign oil dependency, the answer isn't more US oil -- the answer is decentralizing the energy industry.
What are your recommendations for this? I'm an all over the above energy guy. I think the only thing we can really do long term is expand our nuclear capabilities, and the regulations and capital costs have almost completely squeezing out private capital in the US. Wind farms are solid technology. Solar is not the great thing everyone thinks it is, at least not yet, but it's better than nothing and I don't oppose investments in it. I think the nationalizing of oil companies is one of the worst things we've ever done as humans beings, and the criminal activity related to controlling this vital resource is this is seen all through the insane corruption in Latin America.

Wind and solar is whack in a lot of ways. The way we currently use it probably is far from the best way, but there's certainly ways it can be used.
Alcohol and hemp would be great energy sources. Electricity too. Farmers used to have their own oil field essentially by making their own alcohol fuel, and big cities were using electric taxi's in the 1800s. Ford's first Model-T was built to run on hemp oil, and parts of the vehicle were made from hemp as well.
There's been a deliberate effort to hide this history from us. The oil cartels ripped up existing infrastructure that would've made it easier for people to forego buying their own vehicle and they continue to lobby against such things. They deliberately destroyed the alcohol alternative and continue to make that a poor alternative to oil. They of course played a HUGE role in making hemp, a non-intoxicating plant, illegal alongside cannabis.
